PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The

Trust Fund will consist of a pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans
and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC
I
As
provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool of assets
consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets (other
than
any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account, the Cap Account, the Cap Administration Agreement and the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement) subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes, and such pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC I.”
The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table
irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I Remittance Rate, the
initial
Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation

SECTION 2.01 |
Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
|
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse
for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest
of
the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of
the
Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, payments made to the Trust Administrator by the Cap Administrator
under the Cap Administration Agreement and the Cap Account, and all other
assets
included or to be included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest
and
principal received by the Depositor or the related Servicer on or with respect
to the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due
on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date); provided that such assignment
shall not include any Servicing Rights with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
an
executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and the Trustee and
the
Trust Administrator acknowledge receipt of the same on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding
anything provided herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees
and
acknowledges that, notwithstanding the transfer, conveyance and assignment
of
the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
the Servicing Rights Owner remains the sole and exclusive owner of the Servicing
Rights with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans.
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf, the following
documents or instruments (a “Mortgage File”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan
so transferred and assigned:
(i) The
Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature without recourse
by the
related Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator in blank or to the
Trustee
showing a complete chain of endorsements from the named payee to the Trustee
or
from the named payee to the Affiliate of such Originator and from such Affiliate
to the Trustee;
(ii) The
original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage
Loan,
if applicable, and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan
if
the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording thereon or a
copy of
the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those jurisdictions
where the public recording office retains the original;
(iii) Unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an assignment from the
related Originator or an Affiliate of such Originator to the Trustee in blank
or
in recordable form of the Mortgage which may be included, where permitted
by
local law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the Mortgage to the
Trustee, including any intervening assignments and showing a complete chain
of
title from the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the Person
assigning the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the presence
of
the MIN, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System);
(iv) Any
original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate
agreement applicable to the Mortgage Loan; and
(v) The
original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may be a certificate
or
a short form policy relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining
to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title report and the lender’s recording
instructions, with the original to be delivered within 180 days of the Closing
Date or an attorney’s opinion of title in jurisdictions where such is the
customary evidence of title; or in the event such original or copy of the
title
insurance policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company.
In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior
to or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a
delay
in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a)
in
lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause
(ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
a copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage
has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt
of its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment
to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except
for
recording information. In all such instances, the Depositor will deliver
the
original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt
of
such Mortgage. In instances where an original recorded Mortgage has been
lost or
misplaced, the Depositor or the related title insurance company may deliver,
in
lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage bearing recordation information
and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation thereof
was
made. In instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy
referred to in clause (v) above (which may be a certificate relating to a
master
policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating
to a
Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available,
the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (v) above, deliver to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy
(which
may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and
deliver
the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating
to a
master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date. In instances where an original
assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed- interest-rate
agreement cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or the Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the
original of such agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified
copy thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for
which
MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of
the
Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the related Servicer, at the expense
of the
Sponsor shall promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days following
the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the related Servicer
of
the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted
for
recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the appropriate public office
for real property records, each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to (iii)
above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the related Servicer, at the expense of the
Sponsor, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment
or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter
cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, but without limiting the requirement that such Assignments
be in
recordable form, neither the related Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required
to submit or cause to be submitted for recording any Assignment delivered
to it
or the Custodian pursuant to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as
of
the Closing Date, be required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their
assignment on the Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates,
as
evidenced by the delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters
on the
Closing Date; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the related
Servicer shall submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the
Trust
Fund or the related Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable
direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights, (B) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (C) the occurrence
of
a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Sponsor, (D) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this
Agreement and (E) with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Sponsor fails to pay the cost of recording
the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the related Servicer and such
Servicer shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust as Servicing
Advances. In the event an Assignment of Mortgage is not recorded with respect
to
a Mortgage Loan, neither the Trustee nor the related Servicer will have any
obligation for its failure to receive or act on notices with respect to such
Mortgage Loan that the Trustee or such Servicer would have received had such
Assignment of Mortgage been recorded.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the related Servicer
to,
and the related Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a
Sub-Servicer to, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect
to
any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such
Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed
to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost
note
affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit
was delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other
original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any
Mortgage Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered
to the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held
by or
on behalf of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the related Servicer, as the case
may
be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the
terms
of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be
delivered promptly to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee).
Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is
not
required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage
File,
shall be delivered promptly to the related Servicer.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee.
The
Depositor and the Trustee hereto understand and agree that it is not intended
that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a high-cost home
loan as
defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other
applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.
SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on
an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other
than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) above and all other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will
hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting
the
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject
to the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall, for
the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File
within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that
all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable,
and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of
such
review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect,
the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Sponsor, the related Servicer and,
if
such notice is from the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the related Servicer, the
Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties made by the Sponsor in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage
Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other
parties.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of
any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall
be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under
applicable law.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with the Custodian pursuant
to
which the Trustee appoints the Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf
of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the Custodian shall, on behalf
of the
Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first
paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank, N.A. is appointed as
Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the Mortgage Loans and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood that such
initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review contemplated in the
second
paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other functions relating to the
receipt, review, reporting and certification provided for herein with respect
to
the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set forth
herein).
SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor or the
Depositor.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, a Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective
document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the
breach by the Sponsor of any representation, warranty or covenant under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the party so discovering or receiving
notice
shall promptly notify the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee
thereupon shall promptly notify the Sponsor of such defect, missing document
or
breach and request that the Sponsor deliver such missing document or cure
such
defect or that the Sponsor cure such breach within 90 days from the date
the
Sponsor was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Sponsor does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in
all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (i)
to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90
days
after the date on which the Sponsor was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e))
of
such missing document, defect or breach, and (ii) to indemnify the Trust
Fund in
respect of such missing document, defect or breach, in the case of each of
(i)
and (ii), if and to the extent that the Sponsor is obligated to do so under
the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased
Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall be remitted by the Sponsor to
the
related Servicer for deposit into the related Collection Account, and such
Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Custodian that
such
deposit has taken place and the Trustee shall release (or cause the Custodian
to
release on its behalf) to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File, and the
Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each
case without recourse, as the Sponsor shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Sponsor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto,
and
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the
Sponsor is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is
registered on the MERS System, the Sponsor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, at its own expense and without any right of reimbursement,
shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Sponsor, and shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System in
accordance with MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, the Sponsor may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC
I
(in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that
the
obligation of the Sponsor to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for)
any
Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and
is
continuing, and if and to the extent provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification obligations with respect
to
any such omission, defect or breach, as provided in such Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such omission, defect
or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator on behalf of
the
Certificateholders.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, with respect to any breach
by the
Sponsor of any representation and warranty which
breach materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge
or
the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
the
Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Sponsor to remedy such breach
as
provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as follows: upon any Principal
Prepayment with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor shall
pay or
cause to be paid to the Depositor the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of
such
Prepayment Charge calculated as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and
(y)
the amount collected from the Mortgagor in respect of such Prepayment
Charge.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the related Servicer or any other party
hereto or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the related Servicer set forth in
Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cure
such
breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which
is two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor
delivering to the Trustee (or to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee,
as
applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are
required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that
each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof
and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if
any,
in connection with such substitution. The Custodian on its behalf and on
behalf
of the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded,
if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in
the
course of such review the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf finds a
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective
in
any material respect, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf shall promptly
so notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
Sponsor and the related Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the
Trust
Fund and will be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due
on such
Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution,
and the Sponsor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give
or
cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders
that
such substitution has taken place, and the Depositor shall amend or cause
the
Custodian to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution
of
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon receipt thereof,
shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the related Servicer.
Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall
constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects
to the
terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage
Loan Purchase
Agreement (including all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included in such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), in each case as of the
date
of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer will
determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the
aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Trustee will
monitor
the obligation of the Sponsor to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall
request that such delivery be to the related Servicer for deposit in the
related
Collection Account, an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount,
if
any, and the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable),
upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
written notice given by the related Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to
the Sponsor the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute
and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Sponsor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the
Trustee
and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after
the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may
only
be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
“qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice
thereof to the other parties to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give
written notice thereof to the Sponsor. In connection therewith, the Sponsor
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or the Depositor pursuant
to
this Agreement shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth
in
Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for
the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt
of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made by (i) the Sponsor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Sponsor under the Mortgage
Loan
Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status
as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty.
Any
such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth
in
Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Sponsor,
as
the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the
same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased by the Sponsor for breach of a representation or
warranty.
SECTION 2.04 |
[Reserved].

SECTION 2.05 |
Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Servicers and the Master
Servicer.
|
(a) Each
of
the Servicers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to the Master Servicer,

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
Unless
otherwise specified, all references to actions to be taken by “the Servicer”
under this Article III or any other provision of this Agreement with respect
to
a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or with respect to an REO Property or REO
Properties shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by the related
Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans serviced thereby
or
with respect to an REO Property or REO Properties administered thereby.
Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, all references to actions to be
taken
or previously taken by “the Servicer” under this Article III or any other
provision of this Agreement with respect to “the Collection Account” or “the
Servicing Account” shall be to actions to be taken or previously taken by each
Servicer with respect to the Collection Account or an escrow account to be
established and maintained thereby. Consistent with the foregoing, but only
insofar as the context so permits, this Article III is to be read with respect
to each Servicer as if such Servicer alone was servicing and administering
its
respective Mortgage Loans hereunder.
Each
of
the Servicers shall service and administer its respective Mortgage Loans
on
behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit
of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment)
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which
it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans
but
without regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely
and
complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b)
shall
waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under
the
following circumstances: (i) (a) such waiver is standard and customary in
servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver relates to a default or
a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value
of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) the enforceability
thereof shall have been limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally or
the collectability thereof shall have been limited due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, (ii) the collection
of such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iii)
the
amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule
is
not consistent with the related Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable,
(iv) the Servicer has not received information and documentation sufficient
to
confirm the existence or amount of such Prepayment Charge or (v) the collection
of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to written
guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by meeting
the
standard described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and a
representation or warranty regarding such Prepayment Charge has been breached,
then, the Trustee shall make commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to
enforce the obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, for the benefit
of
the Holders of the Class P Certificates; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to this paragraph
unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor hereby
agrees to assist the Trustee in enforcing any obligations of the Sponsor
to
repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached a representation
or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Sponsor fails
to
pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge in accordance with its
obligations under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Trustee, the
Servicer and the Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken against
the Sponsor. If a Prepayment Charge is waived other than in accordance with
(i)
through (v) above, the Servicer shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
for
the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates (the “Servicer Prepayment
Charge Payment Amount”).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power
and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02,
to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing
and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name
of a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing
standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and
all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings
or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on
behalf
of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with
all
reasonable rules and requirements of any standard hazard insurance policy.
Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request
of
the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents
as
are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to
carry
out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee
hereby
grants to the Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties. The
Trustee
shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers
under
such powers of attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which
advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further
as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit provided,
however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may capitalize the amount
of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this Section 3.01 in connection
with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of
the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage
Loan on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and
the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment
and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result
of MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred
in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any
future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default
or, in
the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable) that
would
change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except
for
reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii) permit any modification, waiver
or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder)
and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or
the
imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the
startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
The
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer servicing the Mortgage Loans on its behalf) has
fully furnished and will continue to fully furnish, in accordance with the
Fair
Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files
to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
on a monthly basis.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Sections 3.02(b), 3.20,
3.21, 4.07, 7.01(vi) and 11.11, the obligations of
Countrywide with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by Countrywide and
Regulation AB shall be solely as set forth in the Countrywide Addendum
Regulation AB.
SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans
in a
manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or
states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated,
if and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii)
a
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08, 3.20, 3.21 and 4.07 and provide for
servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The
Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with
the
terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent
with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers
may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter
into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any
such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form
shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts,
or
credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount
of
remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed
to be
inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer copies
of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof,
promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such
instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the
Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation,
any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required
by a
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation,
the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and
the
pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried
out to
such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and
shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due
in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of
costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer,
and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Master Servicer without fee, in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer shall, for any
reason, no longer be the Servicer (including termination due to a Servicer
Event
of Default).
SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Each
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder
by
the related Servicer herein.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall
remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to
the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be
entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification
of
the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall
be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust
Administrator or
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no
claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely liable
for all
fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees.
SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Master
Servicer.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default), the Master Servicer
shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under
each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless
the
Master Servicer elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance
with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Master
Servicer or the successor servicer for the Master Servicer appointed pursuant
to
Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all
of
the Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing
Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Master Servicer, its designee
or
any successor servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or
obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the
Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Master Servicer deliver
to
the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for
under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing
standards set forth in Section 3.01 the Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive
any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, (ii) waive any
provision of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor to submit
to
mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder or (iii)
extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
of
not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause
(iii)
above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for
purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event
of
any such arrangement pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Servicer shall make
timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section
4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01 may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited
to,
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short
Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term
or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor, if
in the
Servicer’s determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking
into account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such
action).
SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with
all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than
two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts
in
the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts are to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable items
for
the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and
retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later
than
the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting
the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections
for any
advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments)
and Section 3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii)
refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay
interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in
the
Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part
of
its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on
funds
in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay
such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to collect
Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not require such payments
but
the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to make Servicing Advances as
provided in Section 3.01. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts, any provision
to the
contrary notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
(i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a
manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall
ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan
being
imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from
its own
funds to effect such payments.
SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must
be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities
on a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account,
in no
event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder,
the
following payments and collections received or made by it from and after
the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the related
Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than
Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but
allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and any
Prepayment Interest Excess) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (other
than
(a) proceeds to be held in an escrow account and applied to the restoration
or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement or (b) proceeds collected in respect of any
particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with
a
purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section
9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;
and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment
Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, Prepayment
Interest Excess or assumption fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not
be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Each
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately available
funds
for deposit in the Distribution Account and, in
the
case of Ocwen and GMAC such funds shall be deposited on or before 2:00 p.m.
New
York time,
on the
related Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution
Amount (calculated without regard to the subtraction therefrom of the Credit
Risk Manager Fee) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the
Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during
the
applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice
to
the Trust Administrator (who shall give notice to the Trustee, the Depositor
and
the Master Servicer) of the location of the Collection Account maintained
by it
when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution
Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set
forth
in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the
Trust
Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant
to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit,
and upon written notification from the Servicer, the Trust Administrator
shall
so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Servicer, a trustee in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trust Administrator
shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
thereof as permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to
be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized
on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account.
|
The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts
required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be
so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to
the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the
related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect
to
which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.03;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (A) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor,
or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) without
limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any Servicing
Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, following the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the
extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse
the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee)
on the
related Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned
on
funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Servicer, the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant
to
Section 2.03 all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase
or
substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously
made which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(vii) to
reimburse the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect
of the
breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03
or
Section 2.04 of this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of
the
Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the
purchase obligation;
(ix) to
pay
itself any Prepayment Interest Excess (to the extent not otherwise
retained);
(x) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred
in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(xii) to
withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan
by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the
Trust Administrator, on or prior to the next succeeding Servicer Remittance
Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to
subclause (vii) above.
SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), to hold
the funds in such Investment Account uninvested or to invest the funds in
such
Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments specified in such
instruction bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless
payable
on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this
Agreement, if a Person other than the Trust Administrator is the obligor
thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required
to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust
Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall
be
held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an
Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee or in the name
of a
nominee of the Trustee. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in
the
Collection Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such
investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its
agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee. In the event amounts
on
deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted
Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder
and (2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance
with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization
of such
loss.
(c) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in
the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trust
Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon
the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as
may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood
and
hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained,
the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where
the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the
least
of (i) the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount
necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements
which
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in
an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application
of any
coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each
REO
Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of
(i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan
at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of each
insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or
amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject
to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall
be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however, that the Servicer may capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances
incurred pursuant to this Section 3.14 in connection with the modification
of a
Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant
to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and
as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of
(i)
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under
the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program); provided, that, such
flood insurance must also be equal to the replacement value or the maximum
payable amount under the Flood Disaster Protection Act (“FDPA”).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in
the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed
that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences
of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of
itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any
such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans,
unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity bond in the
form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac,
unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Trust Administrator.
Each
Servicer shall provide to the Master Servicer evidence (in the form of an
incumbency certificate) of the authorization of the person signing any
certification, statement, copy or other evidence of any fidelity bond or
errors
and omissions policy maintained pursuant to this Section 3.14; provided however,
Countrywide shall not be obligated to provide such authorization until it
has
received a prior written request for such form from the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has
been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable
state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of
the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the
Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian on behalf of
the
Trustee the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement,
which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for
all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as
all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default
and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for
all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by
the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing
is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it
shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the
Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the
Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to
time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to
take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under
any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials
are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to
the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix),
such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring
any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall
take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix),
such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c)
The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage
Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in
good
faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence
of such
determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Trust
Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting
Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests
of
the Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased
hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee,
upon
receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall
release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File
and
the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such
deposit, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall
be
necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as
any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in
the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which
such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full
amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing.
The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be
reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iii)(A).
SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, on behalf
of
the Trustee, by a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or
will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Servicer
is
authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS® System of any
such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments
of
satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred
in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance
shall
be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and
expense of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such
Certificateholder of all Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing
purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall,
upon request of the Servicer and delivery to the Custodian and the Trustee
of a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage
File
to the Servicer, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to
the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate
the
Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the
Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Servicer no
longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer
has delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a certificate of
a
Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited
into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage
Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released
by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage,
except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable
solely
from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section
3.24. With respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans, GMAC agrees that the Servicing
Rights Owner has the right to the Servicing Fee, less an amount to be retained
by GMAC as its servicing compensation as agreed to by the Servicing Rights
Owner
and GMAC. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid
Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation
Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts
derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted
by Section 3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred
in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained
by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account,
and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required
to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14,
to the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee and
the
Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except
as specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.19 |
Reports;
Collection Account Statements.
|
Upon
reasonable request by the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator (such
request to be made by the related Distribution Date), the Servicer shall
forward
to the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator no later than ten calendar
days after such request, a statement prepared by the Servicer setting forth
the
status of the Collection Account as of the close of business on the last
day of
the calendar month relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the
period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and
withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified
in
Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11.
Such
statement may be (i) in a form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting
Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass Through Program with appropriate
additions and changes, or (ii) in a format as mutually agreed to among the
Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator, and shall also
include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances
of
all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the calendar month immediately
preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided
by
the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified
to
the Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon
the
request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement
is
delivered by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
Each
Servicer shall deliver (and cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged
by
it to deliver) to the Trust Administrator, on or before March 15th,
with no
cure period, of each calendar year beginning in 2008 and the Master Servicer
and
the Trust Administrator shall deliver (or otherwise make available) to the
Depositor on or before March 15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2008, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement
of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of such
party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and of
such party’s performance under this Agreement, or such other applicable
agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant has been made under
such officers’ supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge,
based on such review, such party has fulfilled all of its obligations under
this
Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing
Function Participant, in all material respects throughout such year or portion
thereof, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in
any
material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and
the
nature and status of cure provisions thereof. Each Servicer shall deliver,
or
cause any entity determined by such Servicer to be a Sub-Servicer to deliver,
a
similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which such
Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, to the Trust Administrator as described above as and when
required with respect to such Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall include all annual statements of compliance received
by it
from the Servicers with its own annual statement of compliance to be submitted
to the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Section.
In
the
event a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by any such party is terminated or resigned
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or any applicable agreement in the
case
of a Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be, such party shall
provide an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.20 or the relevant
section of such other applicable agreement, as the case may be, notwithstanding
any such termination, assignment or resignation.
If
the
Servicers do not deliver the Annual Statement of Compliance by March
15th
of any
year, either the Trust Administrator or the Depositor shall provide such
Servicer with written notice, which may be electronic and confirmed by email,
of
its failure to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance.
Failure
of a Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20, shall be deemed a
Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from the
Trust
Administrator or the Master Servicer of such Servicer Event of Default, the
Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may, and at the direction
of the
Depositor must, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity
or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon
notice
immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of such Servicer under
this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without
compensating such Servicer for the same; provided that to the extent that
any
provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain
rights or obligations following termination of a Servicer, such provision
shall
be given effect. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this
Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
Each
of
the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall severally,
but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator and their officers, directors and Affiliates from
and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses that such Person may sustain based solely and directly upon a breach
of
the obligations of such indemnifying party under this Section 3.20. Such
indemnification shall not cover any damages that are indirect, consequential,
punitive or special in nature.
SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
(a) By
March
15th
of each
calendar year, commencing in March 2008, the Servicers, the Master Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator and the Custodian (as set forth in the Custodial Agreement),
each at its own expense, shall furnish or otherwise make available, and each
such party shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to
furnish, each at its own expense, to the Trust Administrator (and the Trust
Administrator shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Depositor),
a
report on an assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria
that
contains (A) a statement by such party of its responsibility for assessing
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (B) a statement that such
party
used the Relevant Servicing Criteria to assess compliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria as of and for the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K
required to be filed pursuant to Section 4.06, including, if there has been
any
material instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria,
a
discussion of each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D)
a
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria as of and for such period (the “Attestation Report”).
Promptly
after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor
shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the related
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Custodian (as
set
forth in the Custodial Agreement) and any Servicing Function Participant
engaged
by such parties, as to the nature of any material instance of noncompliance
with
the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such party, and (ii) the Trust
Administrator shall confirm that the assessments, taken as a whole, address
all
of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually address the Relevant Servicing
Criteria for each party as set forth on Exhibit C and notify the Depositor
of
any exceptions.
The
Master Servicer shall include all annual reports on assessment of compliance
received by it from the Servicers with its own assessment of compliance to
be
submitted to the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Section.
In
the
event a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Custodian,
or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party is terminated,
assigns its rights and obligations under, or resigns pursuant to, the terms
of
this Agreement, such party shall provide a report on assessment of compliance
pursuant to this Section 3.21, notwithstanding any such termination, assignment
or resignation.
(b)
By
March
15th
of each
year, commencing in March 2008, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Custodian (as set forth in the Custodial Agreement),
each
at its own expense, shall cause, and each such party shall cause any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by it to cause, each at its own expense, a
registered public accounting firm (which may also render other services to
the
Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Custodian, or
such
other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is a
member
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish an
attestation report to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect
that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters from
the
management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation
engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board,
it is expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or
it
cannot express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of
compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall
opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall
state
in such report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report
must be
available for general use and not contain restricted use language.
Promptly
after receipt of each such assessment of compliance and attestation report,
the
Trust Administrator shall confirm that each assessment submitted pursuant
to
Section 3.21(a) is coupled with an attestation meeting the requirements of
this
Section and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
The
Master Servicer shall include each such attestation furnished to it by the
Servicers with its own attestation to be submitted to the Trust Administrator
pursuant to this Section.
In
the
event a Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Custodian,
or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by any such party, is terminated,
assigns its rights and duties under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of,
this
Agreement, or any applicable custodial agreement, Servicing Agreement or
sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall cause a registered
public accounting firm to provide an attestation pursuant to this Section
3.21(b), notwithstanding any such termination, assignment or
resignation.
(c)
Failure
of the Servicers to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed
a
Servicer Event of Default, and upon written receipt of notice (which notice
may
be delivered electronically) from the Master Servicer of such Servicer Event
of
Default, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, at the direction
of
the Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately
terminate (as provided in Section 7.01(a) all the rights and obligations
of such
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof without compensating such Servicer for the same; provided, however,
the
Depositor shall not be entitled to instruct the Trustee to terminate the
rights
and obligations of a Servicer pursuant to the above if a failure of such
Servicer to identify a subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely
to the
role or functions of such subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other
than the Mortgage Loans (other than such Servicer’s rights to reimbursement of
xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances and accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fees in the manner provided in this Agreement). This paragraph
shall
supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to
the
contrary.
Each
of
the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall severally,
but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Trust Administrator and its respective officers, directors and
Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based solely and
directly upon a breach of the obligations of such indemnifying party under
this
Section 3.21.
If
the
indemnifications provided for herein are unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless any indemnified party, then the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such indemnified
party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other.
This
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
termination of the indemnifying party.
SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access
to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws
and
regulations will be provided to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Administrator on behalf of, and for purposes of providing such documentation
to,
any Person identified as a Certificateholder or any federal or state
banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over
any
Certificateholder or a prospective transferee of a Certificate subject to
the
execution of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to
the Servicer, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the
offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or Trust Administrator. Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall
derogate from the obligation of any such party to observe any applicable
law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section as a result
of
such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.22. In each
case, access to any documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans may be
conditioned upon the requesting party’s acknowledgment in writing of a
confidentiality agreement regarding any information that is required to remain
confidential under the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999.
SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of
the
Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The
Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property
before
the close of the third taxable year following the year the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the
Code or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the above three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension
of the above three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered
to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor
an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and the
Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property
subsequent to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will
not
result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions”
thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate
each
REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to
fail
to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer
shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things
in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith,
the
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account
(which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days
after
the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account,
in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into
the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without
limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance
from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property
and if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee
shall:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect
to any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income
that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90
days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect
that
such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that
it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take such actions
as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed
above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following
the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to
relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if
it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by
it to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer
may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of
the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property
received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination,
net
of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d),
shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it
and
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the related Servicer Remittance Date
relating to a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage
Loan,
for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject
to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary
to make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each
REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as
shall
be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for similar
properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any
payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the related Servicer Remittance Date
in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall
be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to
the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and
6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
Each
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the
Distribution Account and, in the case of Ocwen and GMAC such funds shall
be
deposited on or before 2:00 p.m. New York time, on the related Servicer
Remittance Date from its own funds (or from a Sub-Servicer’s own funds received
by the Servicer in respect of Compensating Interest) an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the
related Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments
during the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the applicable Compensating
Interest Payment.
SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to
any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage
Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall
and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any successor servicer
in
respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination
or
discharge of this Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect
to any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.25 are subsequently recovered from
the
related Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself for
such
amounts paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.25 from such recoveries.
SECTION 3.26 |
Advance
Facility.
|
(a) The
Servicer and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund is hereby authorized
to
enter into a facility (an “Advance Facility”) with any Person (an “Advancing
Person”) (1) under which the Servicer sells, assigns or pledges to the Advancing
Person the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any
P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances or (2) which provides that the
Advancing Person may fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the
Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or
otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such P&I Advances and/or
Servicing Advances. If the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility
pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the Advancing Person,
the Trust Administrator shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming
its
receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. To the extent
that
an Advancing Person funds any P&I Advance or any Servicing Advance or is
assigned the right to be reimbursed for any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance
and provides the Trust Administrator with notice acknowledged by the Servicer
that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement directly from the
Trust
Administrator (from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account) pursuant
to
the terms of the Advance Facility, such Advancing Person shall be entitled
to
receive reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent
provided in Section 3.26(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person must specify
the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits
the
applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s)
of
the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Person to request reimbursement
from the Trust Administrator, rather than the Servicer, and include the
Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an event of default under the
Advance Facility. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty or liability
with
respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing
Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on
the
Advancing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.26. An Advancing
Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof
and shall not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If,
pursuant to the terms of the Advance Facility, an Advancing Person is entitled
to reimbursement directly from the Trust Administrator (from amounts on deposit
in the Distribution Account), then the Servicer shall not reimburse itself
therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) or Section 3.11(a)(vi)
prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Servicer shall
include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trust Administrator
made pursuant to Section 3.10 to the extent of amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account on the related Servicer Remittance Date. The Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements
for Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account, to the
extent
permitted under the terms of the Advance Facility, to the same extent the
Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances
and/or
Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii)
or Section 3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded
such
Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trust Administrator is hereby authorized
to
pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as
the
parties to any Advance Facility agree to in writing delivered to the Trust
Administrator. An Advance Facility may provide that the Servicer will otherwise
cause the remittance of P&I Advance and/or Servicing Advance reimbursement
amounts to the Advancing Person, in which case the foregoing sentences in
this
Section 3.26(b) shall not apply.
(c) All
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in first out”
(FIFO) basis.
(d) None
of
the Trust Fund, any party to this Agreement or any other Person shall have
any
right or claim (including without limitation any right of offset or recoupment)
to any amounts allocable under this Agreement to the reimbursement of P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances that have been assigned, conveyed or pledged
to
an Advancing Person, or that relate to P&I Advances or Servicing Advances
that were funded by an Advancing Person.
(e) Any
amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.26, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor master servicer, may be entered into by the parties
to
this Agreement without the consent of any Certificateholder but with written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the amendment shall not result
in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any outstanding Class
of
Certificates or any other notes secured by collateral which includes all
or a
portion of the Class CE-1 Certificates, the Class CE-2 Certificates, the
Class P
Certificates and/or the Residual Certificates, notwithstanding anything to
the
contrary in this Agreement.
(f) Neither
the Trust Administrator nor the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility
to
track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility between the Servicer
and the Advancing Person.
SECTION 3.27 |
Late
Remittance.
|
With
respect to any remittance received by the Trust Administrator after the day
on
which such payment was due, such Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer
interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate,
adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but
in no
event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law; provided
however, with respect to Countrywide, such annual rate shall be equal to
the
Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date of each change, plus one percentage point.
Such interest shall be remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in
the
Distribution Account by the related Servicer on the date such late payment
is
made and shall cover the period commencing with the day such payment was
due and
ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive.
Such
interest shall be remitted along with the distribution payable on the next
succeeding Servicer Remittance Date. The payment by such Servicer of any
such
interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver
of any
Servicer Event of Default.

MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 1A.01 |
Master
Servicer to Act as Master Servicer
|
The
Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligations of the
Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any
and
all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such
master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder,
the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master
Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult
with the Servicers as reasonably necessary from time-to-time to carry out
the
Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all
reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each
Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants,
obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently monitor each Servicer’s
servicing activities with respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results
of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence
on a
monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to each Servicer’s and
Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected
information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Trust
Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements
specified in Section 4.02, and prepare any other information and statements
required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer
shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual
remittances of each Servicer to the related Collection Account pursuant to
Section 3.10.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and
other
documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the
Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties.
The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall provide access to the records and
documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the servicing
thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and
examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior
written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall
be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision
thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee
and the Trust Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities
to
photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment
for
that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s or Trust Administrator’s, as
applicable, actual costs.
The
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicers and the Master Servicer
any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or
desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged
Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment
against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided
by
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or
equity.
SECTION 1A.02 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 1A.03 |
Monitoring
of the Servicers.
|
The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor the non-compliance by each Servicer with
its
duties under this Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the
Master Servicer may rely upon an Officers’ Certificate of such Servicer (or
similar document signed by a Servicing Officer of a Servicer) with regard
to the
Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that the
Master Servicer, in its good faith judgment, determines that a Servicer should
be terminated due to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, or that
a
notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to the
occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would become a Servicer Event
of
Default, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator
and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or
take
such other action as it deems appropriate.
The
Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer is a Servicer, the Trustee), for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Servicer under this Agreement, and shall, in the event that it receives notice
and confirms that a Servicer has failed to perform its obligations in accordance
with this Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights
and obligations of such Servicer hereunder and in accordance with the provisions
of Article VII of this Agreement and act as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans
or
appoint a successor servicer; provided, however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to such successor servicer. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at
such
time as the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, in its good faith
business judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required to prosecute or defend any
legal
action except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses
in pursuing such action.
To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor
servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer
or
the Trustee, as applicable, with respect to this Agreement (including, without
limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs
and
expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of a
Servicer as a result of a Servicer Event of Default and (ii) all costs and
expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all
servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise
to
enable the successor servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with
this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution
Account.
The
Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer is a Servicer, the Trustee) shall,
upon receipt from a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator,
of
notice of any failure of such Servicer to comply with the remittance
requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement, enforce such
obligations.
If
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, acts as Servicer, it will
not
assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer that
it
replaces.
SECTION 1A.04 |
Fidelity
Bond.
|
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions
insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicer.
SECTION 1A.05 |
Power
to Act; Procedures.
|
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i)
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to
consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities
under Article X, shall not permit a Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally
take
any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably
within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein,
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may
be,
would cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the
tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the
Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but
not at
the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action
would not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the Master
Servicer or a Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with
any
powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or a Servicer to execute
and
deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged
Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating
to the
Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement,
and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master
Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each
case
in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall
have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee
has
been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action
is to
be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that
the
Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of
such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall
join
with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to
Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be an independent contractor of the Trust Fund and shall not,
except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee,
be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
SECTION 1A.06 |
Due
on Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
To
the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause each Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance
with
Section 3.15 of this Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement
of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance
with
this Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original
Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this
Agreement.
SECTION 1A.07 |
[Reserved].
|
SECTION 1A.08 |
Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be Held for
Trustee.
|
The
Master Servicer and the Servicers shall transmit to the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) such documents and instruments coming
into
the possession of the Master Servicer or a Servicer from time to time as
are
required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer
or by
the related Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are
collected by the Master Servicer or by the related Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held
for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master
Servicer’s right to withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing
Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right
of
the related Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided
in this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and subject to Section 3.22
shall
cause the Servicers to, provide access to information and documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Administrator, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations,
banks
or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners
of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or
other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only
upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices
of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.
All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer or the related Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans,
whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the related
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, for and on behalf of the
Trustee
and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and
the
related Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any
such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
or
the related Servicer under this Agreement.

The
Master Servicer will be entitled to all income and gain realized from any
investment of funds in the Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3A.11
and Section 3A.12, for the performance of its activities hereunder (the
“Master Servicing Compensation”). Servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or
otherwise shall be retained by the related Servicer in accordance with Section

by it

In
the
event of a Prepayment Interest Shortfall, the Master Servicer shall remit

(except as described below), not later than the related Distribution Date,
Compensating Interest in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate
amounts in respect of Compensating Interest required to be paid by the Servicers

attributable to Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans for the

in
respect of such Compensating Interest prior to the time it shall have succeeded
as successor servicer, the Master Servicer shall be subrogated to the Trust
Fund’s right to receive such amount from the Servicers. In the event the Trust
Fund receives from the Servicers all or any portion of amounts in respect
of
Compensating Interest required to be paid by the Servicers pursuant to Section
3.24, not so paid by the Servicers when required, and paid by the Master

Servicer from such receipts by the Trust Fund.
SECTION 1A.11 |
Distribution
Account.
|
On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain one
or
more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The
Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Trust Administrator
shall
give notice to the Servicers, the Trustee and the Depositor of the location
of
the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
The
Trust Administrator will deposit in the Distribution Account as identified
by
the Master Servicer and as received by the Master Servicer, the following
amounts:
(1)
Any
amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by the related Servicer from the
related
Collection Account;
(2)
Any
Advances received from the Servicers or made by the Master Servicer or (if
the
Master Servicer is a Servicer) the Trustee (in each case in its capacity
as
successor servicer), and any payments of Compensating Interest received from
the
Servicers or made by the Master Servicer (unless, in the case of the Master
Servicer, such amounts are deposited by the Master Servicer directly into
the
Distribution Account);
(3)
Any
Insurance Proceeds or Net Liquidation Proceeds received by or on behalf of
the
Master Servicer or which were not deposited in the related Collection
Account;
(4)
Any
amounts required to be deposited with respect to losses on investments of
deposits in the Distribution Account; and
(5)
Any
other
amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement.
All
amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Trust
Administrator in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account shall
be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (A) late payment charges or
assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution,
satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (B) the items
enumerated in Section 3A.12(a) (with respect the clearing and termination
of the Distribution Account and with respect to amounts deposited in error),
in
Section 3A.12(b) or in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (v) of
Section 3A.12(c), need not be credited by the Master Servicer to the
Distribution Account. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited to the Distribution Account any amount not required
to be
credited thereto, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of
a
written request therefor signed by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer,
shall promptly transfer such amount to the Master Servicer, any provision
herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The
Trust
Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution
Account to invest the funds on deposit in such account or to hold such funds
uninvested. All investments pursuant to this Section 3A.11 shall be in one
or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the
Trust
Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or
advised
by a Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate of the Trust
Administrator, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust
Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or
advised
by the Trust Administrator or any Affiliate. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds
in
the Distribution Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee, or in
the
name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled
to
sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate or other
instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to
the
Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator
or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account are
at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust
Administrator shall:
(x)
consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder
and (2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y)
demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Distribution Account.
All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The
Master
Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss
of
principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with
funds
in such Account immediately upon realization of such loss.

in
an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Interest for such Distribution
Date,
plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous
Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Interest in respect
of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ shall be reduced when the sum of the REMIC
I
Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC I Required Overcollateralized
Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum
I-LTZZ Uncertificated Interest Deferral Amount and such amounts will be payable
to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1, REMIC I Regular Interest

(ii) to
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1SUB, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT1GRP,
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2SUB, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LT2GRP, REMIC

(iii) to
the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder
of the

above, allocated as follows:
(a) 98.00%
of
such remainder (less the amount payable in clause (v) below) to the Holders
of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, until the Uncertificated Balance of such
REMIC

(b) 2.00%
of
such remainder (less the amount payable in clause (v) below) first, to the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA1, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTA2,

I Regular Interest I-LTM7, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10, and in the same proportion
as principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding Certificates, until
the
Uncertificated Balances of such REMIC I Regular Interests are reduced to
zero
and second, to the Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, until the
Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest is reduced to zero;
(c) to
the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTP, on the Distribution Date immediately
following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge as identified on
the
Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date thereafter until $100
has
been distributed pursuant to this clause;
(iv) to
the
Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder
of the
REMIC I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of Available Funds for such Distribution
Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (ii) above, and such
that
distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made to the REMIC I Regular
Interests first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC I
Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the designation
“SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC I Regular Interest
is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution
period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC
I
Regular Interests such that the REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and third, any remaining principal to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTXX; and
(v) any
remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (as Holder of
the
Class R-I Interest).
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, for so long as GMAC is the Servicer of the SRO Mortgage
Loans, the Trust Administrator shall distribute from amounts on deposit in
the
Distribution Account to the Holders of the Class CE-2 Certificates, with
respect
to each such SRO Mortgage Loan, one-twelfth of the product of (i) the excess
of
the Servicing Fee Rate over the GMAC Servicing Fee Rate, if any, multiplied
by
(ii) the Scheduled Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan as of the
Due
Date in the preceding calendar month (the “Excess Servicing Fee”).
(c) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall withdraw any amounts then
on
deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Charges collected
by the Servicers or any Sub-Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer
in
connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or
any
Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount and shall distribute such amounts
to
the Holders of the Class P Certificates. Such distributions shall not be
applied
to reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class P
Certificates.
Following
the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the amount of Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the
Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.04. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the
Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal
Balance
of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(d) All
distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro
rata
among
the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of
record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e)
or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately
prior
to such Distribution Date and with respect to any Class of Certificates other
than the Residual Certificates is the registered owner of Certificates having
an
initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance that is in excess of the
lesser
of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first
class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but
only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust
Office
of the Trust Administrator or such other location specified in the notice
to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing
funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the related Servicer
shall
have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement
or applicable law.
(d) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class
of
Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable
to
the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly
previously distributed on the Certificates.
(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trust Administrator expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will
be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall, no later
than
five days after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date
to each
Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trust
Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class
of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator
therein specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the
related
Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on
such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining
funds
for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses
of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders
shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year
after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets
Inc.
all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or
to
such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to
any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator
as
a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts
held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall be held in an Eligible Account
and the Trust Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining
such account to invest the funds in one or more Permitted Investments. All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in such accounts
held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall be for the benefit of the
Trust
Administrator; provided, however that the Trust Administrator shall deposit
in
such account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any
such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the
realization of such loss.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount allocated to such Certificate in
respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event
shall
the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be reduced more than
once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

In
the

The
Trust
Administrator will make such statement (and, at its option, any additional
files
containing the same information in an alternative format) available each
month
to Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Depositor,
the
Credit Risk Manager, the Interest Rate Cap Provider and the Rating Agencies
via
the Trust Administrator’s internet website. The Trust Administrator’s internet
website shall initially be located at “xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx”. Assistance in using the
website can be obtained by calling the Trust Administrator’s customer service
desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution
options are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class
mail by
calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Trust Administrator
shall have the right to change the way such statements are distributed in
order
to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above
parties and the Trust Administrator shall provide timely and adequate
notification to all above parties regarding any such changes. As a condition
to
access the Trust Administrator’s internet website, the Trust Administrator may
require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trust Administrator
will not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with
this
Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall also be entitled to rely on but
shall
not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided
by
third parties for purposes of preparing the distribution date statement and
may
affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party
thereto).
For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined by the Trust Administrator from information provided
by the
related Servicer and reported by the Trust Administrator based on the OTS
methodology for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with
respect to a Monthly Payment due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is
not
made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due
Date,
and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to
such
Monthly Payment if such Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business
on the Mortgage Loan’s second succeeding Due Date. Each
Servicer
hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor that such Servicer is not
subject to any delinquency recognition policy established by the primary
safety
and soundness regulator, if any, of such Servicer, that is more restrictive
than
the foregoing delinquency recognition policy.
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall, upon written request, forward to each Person (with a
copy
to the Trustee) who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of
a
Regular Certificate a statement containing the information set forth in
subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for such calendar year or
applicable portion thereof during which such person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code
as
from time to time are in force.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available to the
Depositor, each Holder of a Residual Certificate, the Trustee, the Servicers
and
the Credit Risk Manager, a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders on such Distribution Date and a statement setting forth
the
amounts, if any, actually distributed with respect to the Residual Certificates,
respectively, on such Distribution Date.
Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall forward to each Person (with a copy to the Trustee) who
at
any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Residual Certificate
a
statement setting forth the amount, if any, actually distributed with respect
to
the Residual Certificates, as appropriate, aggregated for such calendar year
or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trust Administrator to such Holders pursuant to the rules
and
regulations of the Code as are in force from time to time.
Upon
request, the Trust
Administrator
shall
forward to each Certificateholder, during the term of this Agreement, such
periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or not provided for
herein, as shall be reasonable with respect to the Certificateholder, or
otherwise with respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports
or
information to be provided at the expense of the Certificateholder in accordance
with such reasonable and explicit instructions and directions as the
Certificateholder may provide. For purposes of this Section 4.02, the Trust
Administrator’s duties are limited to the extent that the Master Servicer
receives timely reports as required from the Servicers.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall provide Bloomberg Financial
Markets, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) on its website (1) CUSIP level factors for each
class of Certificates as of such Distribution Date and (2) the number and
aggregate unpaid principal balance of Mortgage Loans that are (a) delinquent
30
to 59 days, (b) delinquent 60 to 89 days, (c) delinquent 90 or more days
in each
case, as of the last day of the preceding calendar month, (d) as to which
foreclosure proceedings have been commenced and (e) with respect to which
the
related Mortgagor has filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws,
with respect to whom bankruptcy proceedings are pending or with respect to
whom
bankruptcy protection is in force, in each case using a format and media
mutually acceptable to the Trust Administrator and Bloomberg.
For
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall calculate the Significance
Percentage of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If on any Distribution Date
through and including the Distribution Date in December 2007, the Significance
Percentage is equal to or greater than 10%, the Trust Administrator shall
promptly notify the Depositor and the Trust Administrator shall file, by
Form
10-D no later than fifteen days following the related Distribution Date,
the
financial statements of the Interest Rate Cap Provider as required by Item
1115
of Regulation AB.
SECTION 4.03 |
Remittance
Reports; P&I Advances.
|
(a) With
respect to GMAC, no later than the 10th
day of
each calendar month, with respect to Ocwen, no later than the 18th
day of
each calendar month and with respect to Countrywide, no later than 2:00 p.m.
New
York time on the third Business Day following the related Prepayment Period,
each Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator,
in a mutually agreed upon electronic format or by such other means as such
Servicer and the Trust Administrator containing such information regarding
the
Mortgage Loans as is needed by the Trust Administrator to perform its duties
as
set forth in Section 4.01 and 4.02 hereof. Such Remittance Report will also
include a delinquency report substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
M-1,
the monthly remittance advice substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
M-2, and a realized loss report substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
M-3 (or in each case, such other format as mutually agreed to between such
Servicer and the Trust Administrator and, with respect to Remittance Reports
delivered by Countrywide only, in the format set forth in Exhibit O-1, Exhibit
O-2 and Exhibit O-3). No later than three Business Days after the 15th
day of
each calendar month, each Servicer shall furnish to the Trust Administrator
a
monthly report containing such information regarding prepayments in full
on
Mortgage Loans during the applicable Prepayment Period in a format as mutually
agreed to between such Servicer and the Trust Administrator. Neither the
Trustee
nor the Trust Administrator shall be responsible to recompute, recalculate
or
verify any information provided to it by such Servicer.
(b) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan on which a Monthly Payment was due during the
related Due Period and delinquent on the related Determination Date, the
amount
of the Servicer's P&I Advance will be equal to the amount of the Monthly
Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee) that is delinquent as of the close
of
business on the related Determination Date; provided, however, that with
respect
to any Balloon Mortgage Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, neither
the Servicers nor the Master Servicer will be required to advance the related
Balloon Payment but will be required to continue to make Advances in accordance
with this Section 4.03(b) with respect to such Balloon Mortgage Loan in an
amount equal to an assumed scheduled interest that would otherwise be due
based
on the original amortization schedule for that Balloon Mortgage Loan (with
each
interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee). With respect
to each
REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did
not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess,
if
any, of the Monthly Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee) that would
have
been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage Loan,
over
the net income from such REO Property deposited in the related Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution
Date.
Each
Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trust Administrator
for deposit in the Distribution Account and, in the case of Ocwen and GMAC
such
funds shall be remitted on or before 2:00 p.m. New York time, on the related
Servicer Remittance Date an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the related
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of
the related Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution
have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the related Servicer in
discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination
of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by
the related Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held
for
future distribution used by a Servicer to make a P&I Advance as permitted in
the preceding sentence shall be appropriately reflected in the related
Servicer’s records and replaced by the related Servicer by deposit in the
related Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date
to
the extent that the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution
Date (determined without regard to P&I Advances to be made on the Servicer
Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed
to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date
if
such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make P&I
Advances. The Trust Administrator will provide notice to the related Servicer
no
later than the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution
Date via email to the appropriate investor reporting contact of the Servicer
(as
well as the manager of the Servicer’s investor reporting group) in the event
that the amount remitted by the related Servicer to the Trust Administrator
on
such date is less than the P&I Advances required to be made by the Servicer
for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The
obligation of each Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d)
below,
and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a
Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof
from
the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except
as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall
be required to be made hereunder by a Servicer if such P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by a Servicer
that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made,
would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing
Officer delivered to the Trust Administrator (whereupon, upon receipt of
such
certification, the Trust Administrator shall forward a copy of such
certification to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the application of Liquidation
Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a Final Recovery
Determination, any Servicing Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
remain unreimbursed to a Servicer, then without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.11(a), a certification of a Servicing Officer regarding such
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not be required to be delivered by
the
related Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
(e) In
the
event a Servicer fails to make any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance required
to be made by it pursuant to this Section 4.03 and such failure is not remedied
within the applicable cure period pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(vii), then,
pursuant to Section 7.01(a), such Servicer will be terminated, and, in
accordance with Sections 7.01(a) and 7.02, the Master Servicer or (if the
Master
Servicer is a Servicer) the Trustee (in its respective capacity as successor
servicer) or another successor servicer shall be required to make such P&I
Advance or Servicing Advance on the Distribution Date with respect to which
the
related Servicer was required to make such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance,
subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s (or other successor
servicer’s) determination of recoverability. None of the Master Servicer, the
Servicers or the Trustee (or other successor servicer) shall be required
to make
any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance to cover any Relief Act Interest
Shortfall on any Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer (or other successor
servicer) is required to make any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, such
P&I Advance or Servicing Advance may be made by it in the manner set forth
above.
SECTION 4.04 |
Allocation
of Realized Losses.
|
(a) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, each Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage
Loan
and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses
constituted Bankruptcy Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such
Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to
each
Distribution Date, each Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage
Loan:
(A) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with
any
Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt
Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related
Due
Period. The information described in the two preceding sentences that is
to be
supplied by each Servicer shall be either included in the related Remittance
Report (in form and format reasonably required and mutually agreed upon by
the
Servicers and the Master Servicer) or evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate
delivered to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the related Servicer
prior to the Determination Date immediately following the end of (x) in the
case
of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any
such
Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses,
the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized Loss was
incurred.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust
Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Interest
Distribution Amount for the Class CE-1 Certificates for the related Interest
Accrual Period; second, to payments received under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement, third, to the Class CE-1 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class
M-10
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero, fifth, to the Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class M-8 Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
seventh, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class M-6 Certificates,
until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth,
to
the Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has
been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; eleventh,
to the
Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been
reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and thirteenth, to the
Class
M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero.
All
Realized Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of
all
Classes on any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual
distributions to be made on such date as provided above. All references above
to
the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to
the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each
case
to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution
Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
by the
amount so allocated and any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE-1
Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(3). No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates
or the Class P Certificates.
(c) The
REMIC
I Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date to
the
following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:
first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTAA
and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the
REMIC
I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the
Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC I Principal
Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated
Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10
and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until
the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10 has been reduced
to
zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTAA,
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%,
1% and
1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM7 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances
of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; eighth,
to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances
of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero and twelfth,
to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC
I
Regular Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and
1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.
(d) The
REMIC
I Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after
all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to
keep
the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest ending with the
designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC I Regular
Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Balance
of each such REMIC I Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of
(x) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A
Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is
a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount
of
Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC I Regular Interests such that
the
REMIC I Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining
Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTXX.
SECTION 4.05 |
Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall comply
with
all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders
of interest or original issue discount that the Trust Administrator reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders
shall
not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trust Administrator
does
withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trust Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld
to such
Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trust Administrator, in trust for the
registered holders of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust, Asset-Backed Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2007-AMC2.”
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class
CE-1
Certificateholders to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account, any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts for such
Distribution Date, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE-1
Certificateholders. In addition, any payments received by the Trust
Administrator under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement on each Distribution
Date
will be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On each
such
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts for
the
benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates, and shall distribute
the aggregate Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount, if any, for such Distribution
Date
from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to the Holders of the Floating
Rate Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section
4.01(g).
On
each
Distribution Date, after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
on
the Floating Rate Certificates, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account (solely to the extent of payments received by the
Trust Administrator under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), shall be payable
to
the Trust Administrator as additional compensation to it, subject to the
immediately following paragraph. For so long as any Floating Rate Certificates
are beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, the Depositor
shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts paid to it under
the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement to the Trust Administrator who shall, pursuant
to
the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, return such amount to the
counterparty thereunder.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class CE-1
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
CE-1
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case
it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership. If the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account becomes
characterized as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Trust
Administrator shall (i) obtain, or cause to be obtained, a taxpayer
identification number for the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account and
(ii)
prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any necessary federal,
state or local tax returns for the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
All
amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other
than
amounts received under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) shall be treated
as
amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holder of the Class CE-1 Interest
and by
REMIC III to the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates. The Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust
Fund, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts
remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall
be
released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders
or their designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be part
of
the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and any payments to the Holders
of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will
not be
payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of
Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder hereby
agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is
hereby
is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the
amounts described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing
such
amounts to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE-1
Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder further agrees that such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
(e) All
amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of
the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount may have
more
than a de minimis value.
SECTION 4.07 |
Exchange
Commission Filings; Additional
Information.
|
(a) (i) Within
15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under
the
Exchange Act), the Trust Administrator shall, in accordance with industry
standards, prepare and file with the Commission via the Electronic Data
Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a distribution report on Form 10-D,
signed by the Master Servicer, with a copy of the Monthly Statement to be
furnished by the Trust Administrator to the Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly
Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit B to the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor
pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trust Administrator will have
no
duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next
paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit B hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution
Date, (i) the parties described on Exhibit B shall be required to provide
to the
Trust Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a Responsible
Officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other format as
otherwise agreed upon by the Trust Administrator and such party, the form
and
substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together
with
an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit K hereto and
(ii)
the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the
case
may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D.
The
Trust Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce
the
performance by the other parties listed on Exhibit B of their duties under
this
paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such other parties any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible
for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trust
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure
on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
Form
10-D
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to
such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to
the Trust Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports
during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing
requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trust
Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the
related
Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, if
the
answer to either question should be “no.” The Trust Administrator shall be
entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing
any such report.
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (provided that such Form 10-D includes
any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure). Within two Business Days after receipt
of
such copy, but no later than the 12th
calendar
day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Trust
Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes
to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written
changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume
that
such Form 10-D is in final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed with
the
process for execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized
representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form
10-D
cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended,
the Trust Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section
4.07(a)(vi). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with
the
Commission, the Trust Administrator will make available on its internet website
a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Trust Administrator.
Each
party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by each of the
Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its duties under this Section
4.07(a)(ii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form
10-D
is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines
in
the performance of their duties under this Section 4.07(a)(ii). The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the
Trust
Administrator of its respective duties under this Section 4.07(a)(ii) related
to
the preparation and execution of Form 10-D is also contingent upon the
Servicers, the Custodian and any Servicing Function Participant strictly
observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that
are
applicable to the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Trust
Administrator of any necessary Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for
any
loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure
to
properly prepare or execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such
failure results from the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or
any
Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or
file
such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Trust Administrator
shall promptly notify the Depositor if a Form 10-D cannot be timely filed
prior
to the related filing deadline.
(iii) Within
four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), and if requested by the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the
Trust
a Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided that the Depositor
shall
file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.
Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise
required to be included on Form 8-K (other than the initial Form 8-K) (“Form 8-K
Disclosure Information”) shall be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit B
and, pursuant to the following paragraph, directed and approved by the
Depositor, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability for
any
failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information
or
Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As
set
forth on Exhibit B hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange
Act reporting requirements, no later than close of business (New York City
time)
on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the
parties set forth on Exhibit B shall be required pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(v)
below to provide to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent
known by a Responsible Officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in
such
other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Trust Administrator, the Depositor
and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information,
if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii)
the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K. The
Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed
or
incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection with including any Form
8-K
Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this Section.
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor. Promptly, but no later than the close
of
business on the third Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor
shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing (which may be furnished
electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence
of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall
be
entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Trust
Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and filing of the
Form
8-K. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each
Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form
8-K needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator will follow the procedures
set
forth in Section 4.07(a)(vi). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day)
after filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator will make available
on
its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K filed by the
Trust
Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance
by
each of the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its duties under
this
Section 4.07(a)(iii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing
of
Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable
deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 4.07(a)(iii).
The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by each of the Master Servicer
and the Trust Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.07(a)(iii)
related to the preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is also contingent
upon the Servicers, the Custodian and any Servicing Function Participant
strictly observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph
or
in the Custodial Agreement, that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement
or in the Custodial Agreement in the delivery to the Trust Administrator
of any
necessary Form 8-K Disclosure Information. Neither the Master Servicer nor
the
Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage
or
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare,
execute
or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from the Servicers, the Custodian or any Servicing Function
Participant (other than any Servicing Function Participant engaged by the
Master
Servicer or Trust Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or
file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Trust Administrator
shall promptly notify the Depositor if a Form 8-K cannot be timely filed
prior
to the related filing deadline.
(iv) On
or
prior to the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such
earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”)
(it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December
31st of
each year), commencing in March 2008, the Trust Administrator shall prepare
and
file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required
by
the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items,
in each
case to the extent they have been delivered to the Trust Administrator within
the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement:
(a) an
annual
compliance statement for the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such parties
(each, a “Reporting
Servicer”)
as
described under Section 3.20 of this Agreement, provided,
however,
that
the Trust Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any
annual compliance statement that is not required to be filed with such Form
10-K
pursuant to Regulation AB;
(b) (A)
the
annual reports on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria for each
Reporting Servicer, as described under Section 3.21 of this Agreement and
(B) if
each such Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of compliance with Servicing
Criteria identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure
identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if each such Reporting Servicer’s
report on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria is not included
as an
exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and
an
explanation why such report is not included, provided,
however,
that
the Trust Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any
assessment of compliance or attestation report described in clause (c) below
that is not required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation
AB;
(c) (A)
the
registered public accounting firm attestation report for each Reporting
Servicer, as described under Section 3.21 of this Agreement and (B) if any
registered public accounting firm attestation report identifies any material

noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm attestation
report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such
report is not included and an explanation why such report is not included;
and
(d) a
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification as described in this Section 4.07(a)(iv).
Any
disclosure or information in addition to (a) through (d) above that is required

Form 10-K Disclosure”)
shall
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit B to the Depositor and the
Trust
Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the
following paragraph, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability
for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As
set
forth on Exhibit B hereto, no later than March 15th
(with no
cure period) of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act
reporting requirements, commencing in 2008, (i) the parties described on
Exhibit
B shall be required to provide to the Trust Administrator and to the Depositor,
to the extent known by a Responsible Officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible
format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Trust
Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form
10-K
Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification,
and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove,
as
the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on
Form
10-K. The Trust Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor
or
enforce the performance by the other parties listed on Exhibit B of their
duties
under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such other parties
any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure information. The Depositor will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by
the
Trust Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph.
Form
10-K
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to
such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to
the Trust Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports
during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing
requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trust
Administrator in writing, no later than March 15th with respect to the filing
of
a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to either question should be “no.” The
Trust Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in
preparing, executing and/or filing any such report.
After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor. Within three Business Days after
receipt
of such copy, but no later than March 25th, the Depositor shall notify the
Trust
Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes
to or approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written
changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume
that
such Form 10-K is in final form, and the Trust Administrator may proceed
with
the process for execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A senior officer of
the
Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the
Form
10-K (subject to the receipt by the Master Servicer of all required Back-up
Certifications). If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously
filed
Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 4.07(a)(vi). Promptly (but no later than
one
Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator will
make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form
10-K
filed by the Trust Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by the
second Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, the Trust Administrator
determines that it will be unable to file the Form 10-K by the 10-K Filing
Deadline, the Trust Administrator will deliver the Form 10-K and each of
the
items set forth in (iv)(a) through (d) above to the Depositor for filing.
The
Trust Administrator will then be relieved of any of its obligations to prepare
and file such Form 10-K and the Trust Administrator shall not be liable if
such
Form 10-K is not filed by the 10-K Filing Deadline. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by each of the Master Servicer
and
the Trust Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.07(a)(iv) related
to
the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon
such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance
of
their duties under this Section 4.07(a)(iv), Section 3.20 and Section 3.21.
The
Depositor acknowledges that the performance by each of the Master Servicer
and
the Trust Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.07(a)(iv) related
to
the timely preparation and execution of Form 10-K is also contingent upon
the
Servicers, the Custodian (if a party to this Agreement) and any Servicing
Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than those set
forth
in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement in
the
delivery to the Trust Administrator of any necessary Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure, any annual statement of compliance and any assessment of compliance
and attestation pursuant to this Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or any
other
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator
shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out
of
or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely
file
such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trust Administrator’s
inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information
from the Servicers, the Custodian or any Servicing Function Participant needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein, the Trust Administrator shall promptly notify the Depositor
if
a Form 10-K cannot be timely filed prior to the related filing
deadline.
Each
Form
10-K shall include a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification, exactly as set forth in
Exhibit H-1 attached hereto, required to be included therewith pursuant to
the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator shall provide, and each such party shall cause any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by it to provide, to the Person who signs the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying
Person”),
by
March 15th (with no cure period) of each year in which the Trust is subject
to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable
period of time upon request, a certification (each, a “Back-Up
Certification”),
in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-2, upon which the Certifying Person,
the
entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s
officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person,
“Certification
Parties”)
can
reasonably rely. The senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the
master servicing function shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf
of the
Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at
xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by facsimile at 000-000-0000. In
the
event any such party or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such
party
is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any
applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be, such party shall
provide
a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section
4.07
(a)(iv) with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement
or
any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall not
be
required to deliver a Back-Up Certification to each other if both are the
same
Person and the Master Servicer is the Certifying Person and (ii) the Master
Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification
in the
event that it does not receive any Back-Up Certification required to be
furnished to it pursuant to this section or any Servicing Agreement.
(v)
With
respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional
Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator’s obligation to
include such Additional Information in the applicable Exchange Act report
is
subject to its receipt of such information from the entity that is indicated
in
Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing such information, if other
than
the Trust Administrator, as and when required as described in Section
4.07(a)(ii) through (iv) above. Each of the Master Servicer, the Servicers
and
the Depositor hereby agree to notify and to provide, to the extent known,
to the
Trust Administrator and the Depositor, all Additional Disclosure relating
to the
Trust Fund, with respect to which such party is the responsible party for
providing that information, as indicated in Exhibit B hereof. Each Servicer
shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable to
any
Sub-Servicer or Originator at any time, for purposes of disclosure as required
by Items 1108 and 1110 of Regulation AB.
(vi)
On
or
prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trust Administrator is
able
to do so under applicable law, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and
file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic suspension of
reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act.
In
the
event that the Trust Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission
all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required
to
be filed pursuant to this Agreement because required disclosure information
was
either not delivered to it or was delivered to it after the delivery deadlines
set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trust Administrator
will promptly electronically notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D
and
Form 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file
a
Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A and Form 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to
Rule
12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator
will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon
the
approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information
on
the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form
10-D
or Form 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure (other than, in the case of Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating
any Monthly Statement), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure
Information, the Trust Administrator will electronically notify the Depositor
and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by such amendment,
and
such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A
or
Form 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 (filed not in relation to Form 10-K
or any
amendment to Form 10-K) or any amendment to Form 8-K or Form 10-D shall be
signed by a duly authorized representative, or senior officer in charge of
master servicing, as applicable, of the Master Servicer. Any amendment to
Form
10-K or Form 12b-25 filed in relation to Form 10-K or amendment to Form 10-K
shall be signed by a duly authorized representative, or senior officer of
the
Depositor in charge of the securitization. The parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.07(a)(vi) related to the
timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to
Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing
its duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form
8-K,
Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from the Servicers, the Custodian or any Servicing Function
Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15,
Form
12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from
its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator, from time
to
time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements
within its control related to this Agreement, and the Mortgage Loans as the
Trust Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all
necessary reports with the Commission. The Trust Administrator shall have
no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section
4.07; provided, however, the Trust Administrator will cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust
Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses
incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection with this Section 4.07
shall
not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(b) The
Trust
Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicers
and
their officers, directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon
(i) a
breach of the Trust Administrator’s obligations under this Section 4.07 or the
Trust Administrator’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith or (ii) any material misstatement or omission in the Annual Statement
of Compliance and the Assessment of Compliance delivered by the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.20 and Section 3.21.
The
Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Administrator, the
Master
Servicer, the Servicers and their respective officers, directors and affiliates
from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the obligations of the
Depositor under this Section 4.07 or the Depositor’s negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith.
The
Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Administrator,
the
Depositor, each Servicer and their respective officers, directors and affiliates
from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses arising out of or based upon (i) a breach of the obligations of
the
Master Servicer under this Section 4.07 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith or (ii) any material
misstatement or omission in the Annual Statement of Compliance delivered
by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 or the Assessment of Compliance
delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.21.
Each
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, Trust
Administrator and the Depositor and their respective officers, directors
and
affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other
costs
and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) a breach of the obligations
of
such Servicer under this Section 4.07 and (ii) any material misstatement
or
omission in the Annual Statement of Compliance delivered by such Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.20 or any Assessment of Compliance delivered by such
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.21.
Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in this Agreement, no Servicer shall be obligated
to
provide any indemnification or reimbursement hereunder to any other party
for
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses
and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any
of
them may sustain which are indirect, consequential, punitive or special in
nature.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, then the defaulting party, in connection with a breach of its
respective obligations under this Section 4.07 or its respective negligence,
bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other parties as a result
of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion
as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of
the
respective parties.
(c) Nothing
shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a) and (b) to require
the
Trust Administrator or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign
any
Form 10-K or any certification contained therein. Furthermore, the inability
of
the Trust Administrator to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of required
information as set forth in Section 4.07(a) or required signatures on such
Form
10-K or any certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a breach
by
the Trust Administrator of any obligation under this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 4.07 may be amended without
the
consent of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.08 |
Cap
Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
with
itself or the Cap Administrator, a separate, segregated trust account titled,
“Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A, as Cap Trustee, in trust for the registered holders
of
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-AMC2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
2007-AMC2—Cap Account.” Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts
therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, pursuant to the Cap Administration Agreement, prior
to
any distribution to any Certificate, the Cap Administrator on behalf of the
Cap
Trustee shall deposit into the Cap Account amounts received by it under the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, for distribution in accordance with Section
4.01(a)(6) above.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Cap Account be disregarded as an entity
separate from the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates unless and until
the
date when either (a) there is more than one Class CE-1 Certificateholder
or (b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class CE-1 Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Cap Account for federal income
tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the
Cap
Account be treated as a partnership. If the Cap Account becomes characterized
as
a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall
(i)
obtain, or cause to be obtained, a taxpayer identification number for the
Cap
Account and (ii) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, any
necessary federal, state or local tax returns for the Cap Account. The Cap
Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or
the
payment in full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining
on
deposit in the Cap Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and distributed
to the Class CE-1 Certificateholders or their designees. The Cap Account
shall
be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and any payments
to
the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class CE-1 Certificate, each Class CE-1 Certificateholder hereby
agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is
hereby
directed, to deposit into the Cap Account the amounts described above on
each
Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.09 |
Collateral
Account.
|
The
Trust
Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) is hereby directed to perform
the
obligations of the Custodian as defined under the Interest Rate Cap Credit
Support Annex (the “Interest Rate Cap Custodian”). On or before the Closing
Date, the Interest Rate Cap Custodian shall establish an Interest Rate Cap
Collateral Account. The Interest Rate Cap Collateral Account shall be held
in
the name of the Interest Rate Cap Custodian in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Interest Rate Cap Collateral Account must be an Eligible
Account and shall be titled “Interest Rate Cap Collateral Account, Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., as Interest Rate Cap Custodian for registered Certificateholders
of
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-AMC2, Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2007-AMC2.”
The
Interest Rate Cap Custodian shall credit to the Interest Rate Cap Collateral
Account all collateral (whether in form of cash or securities) posted by
the
Interest Rate Cap Provider to secure the obligations of the Interest Rate
Cap
Provider in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
Except
for investment earnings, the Interest Rate Cap Provider shall not have any
legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Interest Rate Cap Collateral
Account other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement, and applicable law. The Interest Rate Cap Custodian shall maintain
and apply all collateral earnings thereon on deposit in the Interest Rate
Cap
Collateral Account in accordance with the Interest Rate Cap Credit Support
Annex.
Cash
collateral posted by the Interest Rate Cap Provider in accordance with the
Interest Rate Cap Credit Support Annex shall be invested at the written
direction of the Interest Rate Cap Provider in Permitted Investments in
accordance with the requirements of the Interest Rate Cap Credit Support
Annex.
All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Interest Rate Cap Collateral
Account (whether cash collateral or securities) shall be for the account
of and
taxable to the Interest Rate Cap Provider.
The
Interest Rate Cap Custodian shall not be liable for the selection of Permitted
Investments or for any investment losses incurred through investment of the
Posted Collateral (as defined in the Interest Rate Cap Credit Support Annex)
into Permitted Investments rated at least (x) AAAm or AAAm-G by S&P and (y)
Prime-1 by Xxxxx’x or Aaa by Xxxxx’x, as directed by the Interest Rate Cap
Provider. The Interest Rate Cap Custodian shall have no liability in respect
of
losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such Permitted Investments
prior to its stated maturity or failure of the Interest Rate Cap Provider
to
provide timely written direction.
Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Specified Condition (each as defined
in the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement) with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Provider
or
upon occurrence or designation of an Early Termination Date (as defined in
the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement) as a result of any such Event of Default or
Specified Condition with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Provider, and,
in
either such case, unless the Interest Rate Cap Provider has paid in full
all of
its Obligations (as defined in the Interest Rate Cap Credit Support Annex)
that
are then due, then any collateral posted by the Interest Rate Cap Provider
in
accordance with the Interest Rate Cap Credit Support Annex shall be applied
to
the payment of any Obligations due to Party B (as defined in the Interest
Rate
Cap Agreement) in accordance with the Interest Rate Cap Credit Support Annex.
Any excess amounts held in such Interest Rate Cap Collateral Account after
payment of all amounts owing to Party B under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
shall be withdrawn from the Interest Rate Cap Collateral Account and paid
to the
Interest Rate Cap Provider in accordance with the Interest Rate Cap Credit
Support Annex.
SECTION 4.10 |
Rights
and Obligations Under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement.
|
In
the
event that the Interest Rate Cap Provider fails to perform any of its
obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (including, without
limitation, its obligation to make any payment or transfer collateral), or
breaches any of its representations and warranties thereunder, or in the
event
that any Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event
(each as defined in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) occurs with respect
to the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as
Cap
Trustee) shall, promptly following actual notice of such failure, breach
or
event, notify the Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on
behalf
of the Cap Trust, required to enforce the rights of the Cap Trust under the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
In
the
event that the Interest Rate Cap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a
third party under a guaranty relating to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
(such
guaranty the “Guaranty” and such third party the “Guarantor”), then to the
extent that the Interest Rate Cap Provider fails to make any payment by the
close of business on the day it is required to make payment under the terms
of
the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Trust Administrator (in its capacity
as Cap
Trustee) shall, promptly following actual notice of the Interest Rate Cap
Provider’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor make any and all payments
then required to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty; provided,
that the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) shall in no
event
be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Interest Rate
Cap
Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect
or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited
to lost profits) in connection therewith.
Upon
an
early termination of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement other than in connection
with the optional termination of the Trust, the Trust Administrator (in its
capacity as Cap Trustee) will, at the direction and with the cooperation
of the
Depositor, use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor interest rate cap
provider to enter into a new interest rate cap agreement on terms substantially
similar to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, with a successor interest rate
cap
provider meeting all applicable eligibility requirements. If the Trust
Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) receives a termination payment
from the Interest Rate Cap Provider in connection with such early termination,
the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) will apply such
termination payment to any upfront payment required to appoint the successor
interest rate cap provider.
If
the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) is unable to appoint
a
successor interest rate cap provider within 30 days of the early termination,
then the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) will deposit
any
termination payment received from the original Interest Rate Cap Provider
into a
separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each subsequent
Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in
such
reserve account an amount equal to the payment, if any, that would have been
paid to the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) by the original
Interest Rate Cap Provider calculated in accordance with the terms of the
original Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and distribute such amount in accordance
with the terms of Section 4.01(a)(6) herein and as set forth in the Cap
Administration Agreement.
Upon
an
early termination of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in connection with the
optional termination of the Trust, if the Trust Administrator (in its capacity
as Cap Trustee) receives a termination payment from the Interest Rate Cap
Provider, such termination payment will be distributed in accordance with
Section 4.01(a)(6) herein and as set forth in the Cap Administration
Agreement.

THE
CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust
Fund.
At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-19. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in
the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of
the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed, authenticated and delivered
by the Trust Administrator to or upon the order of the Depositor. The
Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature
on
behalf of the Trust Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any
time
the proper officers of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trust
Administrator, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased
to hold such offices prior to the execution, authentication and delivery
of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided herein executed by the
Trust
Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication
shall
be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has
been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated
the
date of their authentication.
(b) The
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as
provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository
or
its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates
may
not be transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository
that
agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with
Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be
entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive
Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established
by the
Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.
Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in
the
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal
procedures. The Trust Administrator is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith
and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing
it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any
successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions
as
the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor
Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian
shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason
of any
such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trust Administrator
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor
trust
administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed
to
its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the
right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicers and
the
Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from,
and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made
with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish
a
reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from
or
voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such
record date.
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that the Depository
is
no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor
or
(ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer
Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less
than
51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the
Trust
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of
a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests
of
the Certificate Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of
the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting
the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied
by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer,
the
Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive
Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000, except that
any
beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in
an
amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive
Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount
represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall
be
liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the
issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations
imposed
upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon
and
performed by the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect
to
such Definitive Certificates, and the Trust Administrator shall recognize
the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02 |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to
be
appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject
to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust Administrator
shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of
Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is
made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that
does
not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a
transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or
qualification (other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of
any
such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in
the
case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of
the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class P
or
Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee
or indenture trustee administrator under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer
of
any such Class CE-1, Class CE-2, Class P or Residual Certificate from the
issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee or indenture trustee administrator
under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), the
Trust Administrator shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer
and
from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such
registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund
or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator, the Servicers, in its capacity as such, or any
Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any such
Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any
action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer
of
such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Depositor and the Servicers against any liability that may result if
the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
1933
Act, and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee
representations and warranties set forth Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of
such
interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate
Owner of any such Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring
to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
No
transfer of any Class CE-1 Certificate shall be made unless the transferee
of
such Class CE-1 Certificate provides to the Trust Administrator and the Interest
Rate Cap Provider the appropriate tax certification form (i.e. IRS Form W-9
or
IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor thereto))
as
a condition to such transfer and agrees to update such forms (i) upon expiration
of any such form, (ii) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury
Regulations and (iii) promptly upon learning that any IRS Form W-9 or IRS
Form
W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor thereto)), has
become
obsolete or incorrect. In addition, no transfer of any Class CE-1 Certificate
shall be made if such transfer would cause the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account or the Cap Account to be beneficially owned by two or more persons
for
federal income tax purposes, or continue to be so treated, unless (a) each
proposed transferee of such Class CE-1 Certificate complies with the foregoing
conditions, (b) the proposed majority Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates
(or
each Holder, if there is or would be no majority Holder) (A) provides, or
causes
to be provided, on behalf of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or
the
Cap Account the appropriate tax certification form that would be required
from
the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Cap Account to eliminate
any
withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable by the Interest Rate
Cap
Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to the Trust Administrator
and the Interest Rate Cap Provider on behalf of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account or the Cap Account (i.e. IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN,
W-9IMY
or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto) as a condition to
such
transfer, together with any applicable attachments) and (B) agrees to update
such form (x) upon the expiration of any such form, (y) as required under
then
applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that
such
form has become obsolete or incorrect.
Upon
receipt of any such tax certification form from a transferee of any Class
CE-1
Certificate pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trust
Administrator shall provide a copy of any such tax certification form to
the
Interest Rate Cap Provider, upon its request, solely to the extent the Interest
Rate Cap Provider has not received such IRS Form directly from the Holder
of the
Class CE-1 Certificates. Each Holder of a Class CE-1 Certificate by its purchase
of such Certificate is deemed to consent to any such IRS Form being so
forwarded. Upon the request of the Interest Rate Cap Provider, the Trust
Administrator shall be required to forward any tax certification received
by it
to the Interest Rate Cap Provider at the last known address provided to it,
and,
subject to Section 8.01, shall not be liable for the receipt of such tax
certification by the Interest Rate Cap Provider, nor any action taken or
not
taken by the Interest Rate Cap Provider with respect to such tax certification.
Any purported sales or transfers of any Class CE-1 Certificate to a transferee
which does not comply with the requirements of the preceding paragraph shall
be
deemed null and void under this Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall
have no
duty to take any action to correct any misstatement or omission in any tax
certification provided to it by the Holder of the Class CE-1 Certificates
and
forwarded to the Interest Rate Cap Provider.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described in this Section
5.02(b) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the Closing
Date,
of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor” within
the meaning of Rule 501(d) of the 1933 Act.
No
transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Class A-1 or Class A-2
Certificate) or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to
ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with “Plan
Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA
(“Plan Assets”), as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G,
unless, (i) in the case of a Class CE-1 Certificate, a Class P Certificate
or
Residual Certificate, the Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion
of
Counsel on which the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Servicers may rely, to the effect that the purchase of
such
Certificates is permissible under ERISA and the Code, will not constitute
or
result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund to any obligation
or
liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion
of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund or (ii) in
the
case of a Class M-10 Certificate, (1) such Person is an insurance company,
(2)
the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein
is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the conditions in Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Neither a certification nor an
Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer
of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor
or, in
the case of the Residual Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate
of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class CE-1, Class P or Residual
Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under
the
Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such Class CE-1, Class P or Residual
Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee
under
the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which
case,
the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented
that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and
the
Trust Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation
(which, upon the request of the Trust Administrator, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an
affiliate of the Depositor.
Each
beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein shall
be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that
certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan investor,
(ii)
except in the case of the Class M-10 Certificate, it has acquired and is
holding
such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 91-23,
as amended by XXX 00-00, XXX 0000-00, XXX 0000-00 and PTE 2007-05 (the
“Underwriters’ Exemption”), and it understands that there are certain conditions
to the availability of the Underwriters’ Exemption, including that such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or
its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch, Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (known
as DBRS Limited), Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (known as DBRS, Inc.)
or
Xxxxx’x and the Certificates is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance
company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate
or
interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is
defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 have been satisfied.
If
any
Private Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein is acquired
or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the
next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner
of
that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any
such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions
of
the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
and the
Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or
holding.
(c) (i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Trust Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A)
below
to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall require delivery to it and shall
not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an
affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that
it is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is
the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d)
and
agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator
who
is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a transferor affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Trust Administrator stating that, among other
things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the
Trust
Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within
the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67- 3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
if
it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Trust
Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only
if it
shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of such
other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trust Administrator
as a
condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual
Certificate shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have received
a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect
that
such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under
no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for
making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking
any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Trust Administrator shall have the right, without
notice
to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trust Administrator on
such
terms as the Trust Administrator may choose. Such purported Transferee shall
promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with
the
instructions of the Trust Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Trust
Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Trust Administrator. The proceeds
of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable
to
the Trust Administrator or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will
be remitted by the Trust Administrator to such purported Transferee. The
terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined
in the
sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator shall
not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The
Trust
Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those
Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary to compute
any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5)
and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real
estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization
described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing
such
information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v)
may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trust Administrator at the expense of the party seeking to modify,
add to
or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject to
an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a
Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the prospective
transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer
of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained
for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(e) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator maintained for
such
purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered
for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled
to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or
be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory
to the
Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly
authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R
Certificate, the Holder thereof may exchange, in the manner described above,
such Class R Certificate for two separate Certificates, each representing
such
Holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I Interest and the Class
R-II Interest that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged
and
(ii) with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the Holder thereof may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for three
separate Certificates, each representing such Holder’s respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-III Interest, the Class R-IV Interest and the Class
R-V
Interest, respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R-X
Certificate being exchanged.
(f) No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment
of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(g) All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with its customary
procedures.
SECTION 5.03 |
Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator, or the
Trust Administrator receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee
and
the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to
save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the
Trust Administrator that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver,
in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination
and
Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trust Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trust
Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant
to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether
or
not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
SECTION 5.04 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name
any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose
of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers,
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any agent of any of them shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05 |
Certain
Available Information.
|

Each
Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only
to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and
undertaken hereunder by each Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable,
herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent
of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken
hereunder by the Depositor herein.
SECTION 6.02 |
Merger
or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Servicers.
|
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, each
of
the Servicers and the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction
of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor, the Master

The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, or the Servicers may be merged or consolidated

of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that

on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers
and
Others.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer)
or any
of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be under any liability

against
any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against
any specific liability imposed on the related Servicer (and any Sub-Servicer)

the
Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) and any director, officer, employee or agent
of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Servicers may rely in good faith
on
any document of any kind which, prima
facie,
is
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) and
any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or
the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be indemnified and held harmless
by
the Trust Fund against (i) any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates (except
as
any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant
to
this Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder
or
the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) any breach of a representation or warranty
regarding the Mortgage Loans. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or the
Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) shall be under any obligation to appear
in,
prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its
respective duties under this Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement,
as applicable, and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer) may in its discretion undertake
any
such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this
Agreement or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the
rights
and duties of the parties hereto or to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable, and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, unless the Depositor the Master Servicer or the Servicers (and any
Sub-Servicer) acts without the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled
to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall not be necessary in the
case
of litigation or other legal action by either to enforce their respective
rights
or defend themselves hereunder or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as
applicable), the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder
or the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, as applicable) shall be expenses,
costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor (subject to the limitations
set forth above), the Master Servicer and the Servicers (and any Sub-Servicer)
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account
or Distribution Account, as applicable, as and to the extent provided in
Section
3.11 or Section 3A.12 or from the corresponding custodial account established
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, any such right of reimbursement
being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
related Collection Account or Distribution Account. The Master Servicer’s, the
Trust Administrator’s or a Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement,
any
resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
or
the Servicers pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses,
expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination
(or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or
termination).
SECTION 6.04 |
Limitation
on Resignation of the Servicers; Servicing Rights Owner Termination
Options; Assignment of Master
Servicing.
|
(a) None
of
the Servicers shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it
except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law, (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall
be
furnished to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator) that such resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to
reduce the then current rating of the Class A Certificates and provided that
a
qualified successor has agreed to assume the duties and obligations of such
Servicer hereunder or (iii) with respect to any SRO Mortgage Loan, (A) for
so
long as GMAC is Servicer, by mutual consent of GMAC and the Servicing Rights
Owner or (B) in the case of any successor servicer to GMAC as Servicer, upon
30
days prior written notice from the Servicing Rights Owner directing it to
resign. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence
permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of
Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the related Servicer and
delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, and the Trust Administrator
and,
in the case of any SRO Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Rights Owner. No resignation
of the related Servicer shall become effective until the Master Servicer
or the
Trustee, as applicable, in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof, or a successor
servicer shall have assumed such Servicer’s responsibilities, duties,
liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment
of
such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any SRO Mortgage Loan, the obligations and
responsibilities of GMAC created hereby shall be terminated without cause
upon
30 days’ written notice from the Servicing Rights Owner to GMAC, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Rating
Agencies.
Except
as
expressly provided herein, each Servicer shall not assign or transfer any
of its
rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor delegate
to or
subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any
of
the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by such Servicer hereunder.
If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of a Servicer are transferred
to a successor servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other
compensation payable to such Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be
payable to such successor servicer.
(b) The
Master Servicer may sell, assign or delegate its rights, duties and obligations
as Master Servicer under this Agreement in their entirety; provided, however,
that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such sale, assignment and
delegation (a) shall be a Person qualified to service mortgage loans for
Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $50,000,000
(unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii)
below);
and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption
by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer
under this Agreement from and after the effective date of such assumption
agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice of
the
identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and shall confirm
in
writing to the Master Servicer and the Trustee that any such sale, assignment
or
delegation would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading of the rating
on
any Class of Certificates in effect immediately prior to such sale, assignment
or delegation; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been fulfilled
and
such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement.
No
such sale, assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master
Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.
SECTION 6.05 |
Successor
Master Servicer.
|
In
connection with the appointment of any successor Master Servicer or the
assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Master
Servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor or the Trustee
and such successor Master Servicer shall agree. If the successor Master Servicer
does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor Master
Servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively
engaged in the master servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor Master Servicer may
not
exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled
to
retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer
hereunder.
SECTION 6.06 |
Rights
of the Depositor in Respect of the
Servicers.
|
Each
Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that
each
Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
and
the Trust Administrator, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours,
access to all records maintained by such Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer)
in
respect of the related Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of such Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible
for
such obligations. Upon request, each Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor,

such
Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements of the parent company of the
related Servicer and such other information relating to such Servicer’s capacity
to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the
extent
such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not disseminate
any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without
the
related Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to this
Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working
with
legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,
rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
the
case may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of
any
such disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of a Servicer under this Agreement
and
may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any
defaulted obligation of a Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights
of a Servicer under this Agreement; provided that such Servicer shall not
be
relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such
performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have
any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by a Servicer
and
is not obligated to supervise the performance of a Servicer under this Agreement
or otherwise.
SECTION 6.07 |
Duties
of the Credit Risk Manager.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Trust, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and

Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicers
and/or
the Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans.
Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a
successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof
to the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
and
each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the
Credit
Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until the
appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager.
SECTION 6.08 |
Limitation
Upon Liability of the Credit Risk
Manager.
|
Neither
the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Servicers or the Depositor
for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good
faith
pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the
related
Servicer or the Master Servicer under the related Credit Risk Management
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith
in
its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith
on
any document of any kind prima
facie properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder,
and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by

Administrator.
Upon
receipt of such notice, the Trust Administrator shall provide written notice
to
the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be effective upon receipt
of
such notice by the Credit Risk Manager.

each
and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default with
respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
51% of
the Voting Rights, by notice in writing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
(and to the Trustee if given by such Certificateholders), with a copy to

and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the
written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,

or
under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other

vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01(b); and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and

Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or
should
be part of the Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund;
and
(ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably
requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties
thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding
the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable
to
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received
as
reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been
given.
The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall
not
affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such
termination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause
(vi) of
this Section 7.01(b) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter
arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may
have as
a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of
its
own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 7.04 to carry
out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any
Advance the nonpayment of which was a Master Servicer Event of Default described

Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution
Date.
SECTION 7.02 |
Master
Servicer or Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor
Servicer.
|
(a) On
and
after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Master Servicer
(or if the Master Servicer is a Servicer, the Trustee) shall be the successor
in
all respects to the related Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this
Agreement, the related Servicer shall not have the right to withdraw any
funds
from the related Collection Account without the consent of the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, and the transactions set forth or provided
for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the related Servicer (except
for any representations or warranties of such Servicer under this Agreement,
the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and
its
obligation to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12)
by
the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation, the related
Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03;
provided, however, that if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
is
prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as
applicable, shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section
4.03; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the related Servicer’s failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, as successor to the a Servicer
hereunder. It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there
will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the transition
of
servicing obligations is fully effective. As compensation therefor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the Servicing
Fees
and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which a Servicer would have
been
entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were
due
or would become due to such Servicer prior to its termination or resignation).
Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so
act or
if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage
loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting
Rights so request in writing to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to
appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to
the
Rating Agencies and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the
successor to a Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or
any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a Servicer under this
Agreement. Any successor servicer to GMAC (including the Master Servicer
or
Trustee, as applicable) shall, with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans,
acknowledge and be subject to the Servicing Rights of the Servicing Rights
Owner; provided that the Servicing Rights Owner shall give such successor
servicer at least 30 days prior written notice before exercising its right
to
terminate such Servicer or transfer the servicing of the SRO Mortgage Loans
to
another servicer. No appointment of a successor Servicer under this Agreement
shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the related
Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection
with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Master Servicer
or
the Trustee, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation
of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor
shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of
that
permitted the related Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Pending
appointment of a successor to a Servicer under this Agreement, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
(b) In
connection with the termination or resignation of a Servicer hereunder, either
(i) the successor servicer, including the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as
applicable, if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, is acting
as
successor servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS
in
good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the
rules
and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor servicer shall
cooperate with the successor servicer in causing MERS to revise its records
to
reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer as necessary
under
MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor servicer shall cooperate
with the successor servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment
of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the
Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and to execute and deliver such other
notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable
to
effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS® System to the successor servicer. The predecessor servicer shall file
or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office.
The predecessor servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing
any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments
of
Mortgage that may be required under this Section 7.02(b).
SECTION 7.03 |
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor Master
Servicer.
|
(a) Upon
the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01(b) or an Opinion of Counsel rendered by Independent counsel
pursuant to Section 6.05(b) to the effect that the Master Servicer is
legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally
able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and
the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject
to
all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee (i) shall have no obligation
whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than Advances deemed recoverable
and not previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the
time
of termination and (ii) shall not be obligated to perform any obligation
of the
Master Servicer under Section 3.20 or 3.21 with respect to any period of
time
during which the Trustee was not the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor,
but subject to Section 6.05, the Trustee shall be entitled to compensation
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master
Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the
Master
Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously
made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee
may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable
so to
act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- or
Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer and with respect to a successor to the Master
Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000, as the successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of
the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter or other evidence each Rating
Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be
lowered
as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall
act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it
and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that the provisions of
Section 6.05 shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer
had
continued to act hereunder, and that such successor shall undertake and assume
the obligations of the Trustee to pay compensation to any third Person acting
as
an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing
responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any
such succession.
If
the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator are the same entity, then at
any
time the Master Servicer resigns or is removed as Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator shall also be removed hereunder. All reasonable Master Servicing
Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
Master Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs
shall
be paid by the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the
successor Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled
to
reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund).
(b) If
the
Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the
Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity
and not
in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VIII
shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the
Master Servicer in the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such
provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee);
the provisions of Article VI, however, shall apply to it in its capacity
as
successor Master Servicer.
SECTION 7.04 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination of a Servicer or the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01
above
or any appointment of a successor to a Servicer or Master Servicer pursuant
to
Section 7.02 and 7.03 above, the Trust
Administrator, or in the event of the termination of the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee (or such other successor Trust Administrator) shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not
later
than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes
or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer
Event of Default or a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after
a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator becomes aware of the occurrence
of such an event, the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders
of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Servicer
Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured
or
waived.
SECTION 7.05 |
Waiver
of Servicer Events of Default and Master Servicer Events of
Termination.
|
Subject
to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting
Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Servicer
Event of Default or Master
Servicer Event of Default
hereunder may waive such default or Servicer Event of Default; provided,
however, that a default or Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event
of
Default under clause (a)(i) or (a)(vii) of Section 7.01 or clause (b)(i)
or
(b)(vi) of Section 7.01, respectively, may be waived only by all of the Holders
of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default or Servicer
Event
of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Servicer
Event
of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall
be
deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver
shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Servicer Event of Default or
Master
Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to
the
extent expressly so waived.

or Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this
Agreement. The Trust Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and
only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer
Event
of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default, has occurred (which has not
been
cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the
same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any
permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be responsible
for the
accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found
not to
conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, it shall
take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected,
and
if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, it will provide notice
thereof to the Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or
the
Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of
Default, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Default or Master
Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations
of each of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of
this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee,
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to
the Trustee, that conform to the requirements of this Agreement. The Trust
Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties
and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trust
Administrator, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trust
Administrator, the Trust Administrator, may conclusively rely, as to the
truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon
any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trust Administrator, that conform
to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at
least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the it or exercising
or
omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon it, under this Agreement;
and
(iv) Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to take notice
or be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default, Servicer Event of Default
or
Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall have received written
notice
thereof or a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof. In
the
absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively assume there is no
default.
Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to expend or risk
its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
in each
case not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, including the compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary
course of the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s, as the case may be,
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if there
is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
With
respect to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the
Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, to perform, or be responsible for the
manner
of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall be the successor to, and be vested with
the
rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement.

however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a
Master
Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise
such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise

(v) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of
Default hereunder, and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Default
or
Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee

Trust
Administrator, as applicable, by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or
the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, may require indemnity satisfactory to
it
against such cost, expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as
a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or
powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall
be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care;

loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the related Collection Account
at

SECTION 8.05 |
Trustee’s,
Trust Administrator’s and Custodians’ Fees and
Expenses.
|
(a) The
Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to compensation as separately agreed with
the
Master Servicer. The Trustee’s fees will be paid by the Trust Administrator

Administrator, and such compensation will not be an expense of the Trust.
Each
of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Custodian and any director,
officer, employee or agent of any of them, as applicable, shall be indemnified
by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
(not
including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee,

in
the ordinary course of the Trustee’s, the Trust Administrator’s or the

case of the Custodian, under the Custodial Agreement) or as a result of a
breach
of the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s, as applicable, obligations under

or
any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them may have hereunder
in
its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust Administrator for payment
to
the applicable indemnified Person from the Distribution Account at any time.

the Trust Administrator.
(b) Each
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the

resulting from a breach of the related Servicer’s obligations and duties under

of
this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be. Any payment hereunder
made
by a Servicer to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Custodian shall
be

therefor.
SECTION 8.06 |
Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee and Trust
Administrator.

the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all times be a
corporation or an association organized and doing business under the laws
of any
state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state

cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07 |
Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
|
Either
of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Certificateholders and, if the
Trustee is resigning, to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator
is resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator
(which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in duplicate,
which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator,
as applicable, and to the successor trustee or trust administrator, as
applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, and
a
Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or trust administrator
shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as
applicable.
If
the
Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer are the same entity, then at
any
time the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed as Trust Administrator,
the
Master Servicer shall also be removed hereunder.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of
its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
or
the Master Servicer (or in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee)
may
remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint
a
successor trustee or trust administrator (which may be the same Person in
the
event both the Trustee and the Trust Administrator resign or are removed)
by
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to
the
Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or
trust
administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
and a
Servicer by the Depositor.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may
at any
time remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor
trustee or trust administrator by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor,
one
complete set to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
and
the Servicers by the Depositor.
If
no
successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the
Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform
the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee
shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appointment
of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may be, pursuant
to
any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator
as
provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform
its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment
of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until
a
new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without
prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting
from
the Trust Administrator’s breach of its obligations hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator shall at all times be the same Person.
SECTION 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator.
|
Any
successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in Section
8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer,
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor
trustee or trust administrator an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
or trust administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee
or
trust administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
or
trust administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or trust administrator
shall
deliver to the successor trustee or trust administrator all Mortgage Files
and
related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder
and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee or trust administrator all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No
successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided
in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
or
trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
the appointment of such successor trustee or trust administrator shall not

of
such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates
at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails
to

trustee or trust administrator, the successor trustee or trust administrator
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the

Any
corporation or association into which either the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated
or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case
may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
be the
successor of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under
the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10 |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicers and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act
as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee
or
separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person
or
Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicers and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Servicers shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so,
or in
case a Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders
of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to
the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
or
acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as
successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
REMIC
I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the
conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee,
its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor trustee.

(a) Subject
to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities under this

and
the Trust Administrator with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than the
obligations of the Servicers and the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Servicers to provide
for
and the Trust Administrator to make payments in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) the Trust
Fund shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit
of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
and
required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date
coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by
the
Terminator, as defined below, (on a servicing retained basis) of all Mortgage
Loans and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the
last
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier
of
(a) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States
to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (b) the Latest Possible
Maturity Date (as defined in the Preliminary Statement).
Subject
to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans
and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price equal to the greater
of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised
value of any REO Properties (such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Servicers and the Trust Administrator) and (ii)
the
fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties (as determined
by
the Servicers, with the consent of the Trust Administrator as of the close
of
business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice
of
any such termination is furnished to the related Certificateholders pursuant
to
Section 9.01(c)), in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at
the
weighted average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period
preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances
allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (the “Termination
Price”);
provided, however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price
is
sufficient to result in the payment of all interest accrued on, as well as
amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes
issued
pursuant to the Indenture.
(b) The
Master Servicer, shall have the right (the party exercising such right, the
“Terminator”),
to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC
I
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the
Determination Date in the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date
on
which the Certificates will be retired; provided, however, that the Terminator
may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund
at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate
Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance
of
a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts
in
excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination,
to pay
any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE-1 Certificates. In addition,
to
the extent that the Master Servicer has not exercised such option within
three
months of its ability to do so, Ocwen may exercise such option.
Notwithstanding
anything provided herein to the contrary, upon the exercise by the Terminator
of
its option pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Servicing
Rights
Owner shall retain any and all related Servicing Rights with respect to the
SRO
Mortgage Loans.
(c) Notice
of
the liquidation of any Certificates shall be given promptly by the Trust
Administrator by letter to the related Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage
Loans
and each related REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the related Certificates
or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which REMIC I will terminate and final payment of the Certificates
and
will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office
of the Trust Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such
final
payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the Certificates
from
and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the final Distribution
Date
therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator. In the event
such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans
and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Terminator, the Terminator
shall
deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
not
later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month in
which
such distribution will be made an amount in immediately available funds equal
to
the Termination Price. The Trust Administrator shall remit to the Servicers
from
such funds deposited in the Distribution Account (i) any amounts which the
Servicers would be permitted to withdraw and retain from the related Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any other amounts otherwise payable
by
the Trust Administrator to the Servicers from amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in each case
prior
to making any final distributions pursuant to Section 9.01(d) below. Upon
certification to the Trust Administrator by a Servicing Officer of the making
of
such final deposit, the Trust Administrator shall promptly release or cause
to
be released to the related Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and
other instruments delivered to it which are necessary to effectuate such
transfer.
(d) Upon
receipt of notice by the Trust Administrator of the presentation of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders on the related final Distribution
Date to
the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall distribute to each
Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds
not
distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the
Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given
pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation
within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Trust
Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order
to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or through an agent,
mail
a final notice to remaining related non-tendering Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the
funds
in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the
assets remaining in the trust funds. If within one year after the final notice
any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trust Administrator shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts,
and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts
shall
thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder
on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a result of such
Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately
following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of each of the
Certificates the Trust Fund shall terminate.

to the
Trust Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the
assets
of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the
Trust
Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this
Article.
(e) The
Trust
Administrator shall perform on behalf of any Trust REMIC all reporting and
other
tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the REMIC under the
Code,
the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal
Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority including the filing of Form

Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or
other

limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required
by the Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under
this
subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided
to
the Trust Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all

take
such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status thereof
as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Master Servicer and the Servicers shall not take any action or cause the
Trust
Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case
may
be, could (i) endanger the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result
in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited
to the
tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
and
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
(at the
expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or
result
in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall a Servicer take or fail to take
any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect
to
such action; provided that the Servicers may conclusively rely on such Opinion
of Counsel and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act
in
accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any
action
with respect to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing
any
Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms
of
this Agreement, the Servicers will consult with the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Trust Administrator or their designee, in writing, with respect to
whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect
to
any Trust REMIC and the Servicers shall not take any such action or cause
any
Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event
could occur; provided that the Servicers may conclusively rely on such writing
and shall incur no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance
with
such writing. The Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Trustee
may
consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall
be
borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement,
but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Trust Administrator. At all times as may be required by the
Code, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicers will ensure
that
substantially all of the assets of REMIC I will consist of “qualified mortgages”
as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the extent such obligations
are
within the Trustee’s, Trust Administrator’s or Servicer’s, as applicable,
control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement.
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the REMIC created
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of the REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contributions to the REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any
applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged
(i)
to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax
arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Trustee pursuant to Section
10.03
hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee
of any
of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach
by
the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III, Article
IIIA or
this Article X, (iv) to the related Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by a Servicer of any of
its
obligations under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (v) against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The
Trust
Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and
records
with respect to any Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(j) Following
the Startup Day, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Trust
Administrator shall not accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC
other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered
in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund
will
not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law
or
ordinances.
(k) None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Servicers
shall
enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or
other
compensation for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income
from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
SECTION 11.01 |
Amendment.
|
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Servicers, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator without
the
consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect,
(ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to
give
effect to the expectations of Certificateholders) or (iii) to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement
which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided
that such action shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
or (b) written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers,
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator from the Rating Agencies that such action
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding
Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency). No amendment
shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any
Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel
or
Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address the effect of any
such
amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Servicers, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that
no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing
of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed
on
any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of
any
Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and Trust Administrator or
(ii)
written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Trustee
and the Trust Administrator from the Rating Agencies that such action will
not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class
of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency) in a manner, other
than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
of
such Class evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights allocated to such
Class,
or (iii) modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses
(i)
and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then
outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes
of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 11.01,
Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or the
Servicers or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights with
respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it
shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment
will
not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Prior
to
executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to receive an Opinion
of
Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect
that
such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor,
the
Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall
enter into any amendment to Section 4.09, Section 11.01 or Section 11.10
of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Interest Rate Cap
Provider.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trust Administrator shall furnish
a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01
shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each of the Trustee and Trust Administrator may, but shall
not be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that affects
its
rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 11.02 |
Recordation
of Agreement; Counterparts.
|
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in
all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties
or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording
office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by a Servicer at the expense
of
the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of Certificateholders
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
SECTION 11.03 |
Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.
|
The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund,
nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed
so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or
members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability
to any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless (i) such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee and Trust Administrator a written notice
of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii)
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall
have
made written request upon the Trustee and the Trust Administrator to institute
such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee or Trust
Administrator hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, such indemnity satisfactory to it against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, for 15 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, that no one or
more
Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by
virtue
of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of
the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection
and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder,
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to such relief
as can
be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 11.04 |

Article
and Section References.
|
All
article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise

SECTION 11.09 |
Grant
of Security Interest.
|
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation
of
the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the
Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the related Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in
the
form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations
secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s
obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to
the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property,
and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the
Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10 |
Third
Party Rights.
|
With
respect to Section 4.09, the Interest Rate Cap Provider shall be deemed a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were
a
party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.
SECTION 11.11 |
Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
|
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.20, 3.21
and 4.07 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by
the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB, as such may be amended
from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as
may be
issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each
of the
parties (other than Countrywide) agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties
hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose,
(b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as
necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice
or
guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed
securities markets, opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the
requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests
made
by the Depositor or the Trust Administrator for delivery of additional or
different information, to the extent that such information is available or
reasonably attainable, as the Depositor or the Trust Administrator may
determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any
such
changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving
interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that
any
such changes shall require the consent of each of the parties
hereto.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto
by
their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the
day
and year first above written.

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP

THE

THE
UNITED STATES.
This

(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates as of the Issue
Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class
A-1 Certificates in the REMIC created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated
as
specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc.
(hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement), the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a
summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class A-1
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be
made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency of
such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s
prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement
as
Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of
this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Servicers and any Sub-Servicer against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made
in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly

The

for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes

The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent

As

the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon

duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written

The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the

therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS

This

(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-1 Certificates as of the Issue
Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class
M-1 Certificates in the REMIC created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Servicers,
the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-1
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be
made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency of
such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Each
transferee of this Certificate who is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code, a Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
a Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to
have
made the representations in Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be

Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated

Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge

but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless

Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be

a Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to
have
made the representations in Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the

Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS

(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-8 Certificates as of the Issue
Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class

Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Servicers,
the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-8
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be
made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency of
such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Each
transferee of this Certificate who is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code, a Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
a Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to
have
made the representations in Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be

TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR
THE
UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF
THE
UNITED STATES.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of a Percentage Interest
(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-10 Certificates as of the Issue
Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class
M-10 Certificates in the REMIC created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Servicers,
the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class M-10
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be
made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency of
such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Each
transferee of this Certificate who is a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code, a Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
a Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be deemed to
have
made the representations in Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s
prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement
as
Exhibit F-1. None of the Depositor or the Trust Administrator is obligated
to
register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof
under
the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of
this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Servicers and any Sub-Servicer against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made
in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from the REMIC all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

Administrator or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together

therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage

Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage
Interest specified above in the Class of Certificates to which the Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon
which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust
Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law
or
to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder
desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicers and any Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of
all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly

Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with
copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which
such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust
Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law
or
to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder
desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicers and any Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A)
the
Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC I
and
REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income
of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined
in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses
or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to
a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt
of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or REMIC
II.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
evidencing
a beneficial ownership interest in a portion of a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”)
consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, fixed-rate
and adjustable-rate, first and second lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”)
formed and sold by
CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR, THE
TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR
THE
UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF
THE
UNITED STATES.
This
certifies that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is the registered owner of a
Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate
by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class R-X Certificates
as
of the Issue Date) in that certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced
by
all the Class R-X Certificates created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Servicers,
the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.
This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class R-X
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be
made
or caused to be made by the Trust Administrator by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in writing at least five Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Trust Administrator of the pendency of
such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at
the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator for that purpose as
provided in the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face
hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest
in the Class of Certificates equal to the denomination specified on the face
hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
of
Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the
Certificates.
Any
resale, transfer or other disposition of this certificate may be made only
in
accordance with the provisions of section 5.02 of the agreement referred to
herein.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the Trust
Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from
the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such
Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such registration
or
qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer or the Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with
copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which
such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trust
Administrator is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates
specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law
or
to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder
desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicers and any Sub-Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(b) of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust Administrator (i) an affidavit
to
the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A)
the
Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in REMIC
III,
REMIC IV and REMIC V, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of
the
net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,”
as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by
other
losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the
financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating
to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in
the
Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not
be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon REMIC III or REMIC
IV.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement
following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in the REMIC and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the REMIC
of
all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage
Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in
the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less
than
10% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor, and
the
Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trust
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate to be
duly
executed.

SERVICING
CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary
Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Trust
Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes
the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
- safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor (Trust Administrator performs
this function)
Trustee
-
fiduciary of the transaction
Note:
The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the
trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “trust administrator” functions,
while in another transaction, the trust administrator may perform these
functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.

Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under
this Agreement. The Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set
forth
in this Agreement and to the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as the
Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall
be
prepared by the Seller based on information provided by the
Originators.
SECTION
3. Consideration.
(a) In
consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser
shall, as described in Section 7, pay to or upon the order of the Seller
in
immediately available funds a certain amount (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase
Price”).
(b) The
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser shall
be
entitled to all scheduled payments of principal due after the Cut-off Date,
all
other payments of principal due and collected after the Cut-off Date, and
all
payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans allocable to the period after
the
Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or
before
the Cut-off Date and collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the
Seller.
(c) Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will assign all of
its
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, together with its
rights
under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the related
Certificateholders.
SECTION
4. Transfer
of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Possession
of Mortgage Files.
The
Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser,
without recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right,
title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans; provided that such
assignment shall not include any of the Servicing Rights with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans serviced by Ocwen. The contents of each Mortgage File not
delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of
the
Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust
by the
Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each
Mortgage Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related
Mortgage File is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records
and
documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come
into the possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately
vest in the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser
or as
otherwise directed by the Purchaser.
(b) Delivery
of Mortgage Loan Documents.
The
Seller will, on or prior to the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser
each
of the following documents for each Mortgage Loan:
(i) The
Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature without recourse
by the
related Originator or an Affiliate of the related Originator in blank or
to the
Trustee showing a complete chain of endorsements from the named payee to
the
Trustee or from the named payee to the Affiliate of the related Originator
and
from such Affiliate to the Trustee;
(ii) The
original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage
Loan,
if applicable, and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan
if
the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording thereon or a
copy of
the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those jurisdictions
where the public recording office retains the original;
(iii) Unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an assignment from the
related Originator or an Affiliate of the related Originator to the Trustee
in
blank or in recordable form of the Mortgage which may be included, where
permitted by local law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the Mortgage
to the Trustee, including any intervening assignments and showing a complete
chain of title from the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the
Person assigning the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the
presence of the MIN, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System);
(iv) Any
original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate
agreement applicable to the Mortgage Loan; and
(v) The
original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may be a certificate
or
a short form policy relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining
to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title report and the lender’s recording
instructions, with the original to be delivered within 180 days of the Closing
Date or an attorney’s opinion of title in jurisdictions where such is the
customary evidence of title; or in the event such original or copy of the
title
insurance policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company.
In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Seller
to the Purchaser prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery
of
this Agreement, due to a delay in connection with the recording of such
Mortgage, the Seller may, (a) in lieu of delivering such original recorded
Mortgage referred to in clause (b)(ii) above, deliver to the Purchaser a
copy
thereof, provided that the Seller certifies that the original Mortgage has
been
delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (b)(iii)
above
to the Purchaser, deliver such assignment to the Purchaser completed except for
recording information. In all such instances, the Seller will deliver the
original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the
Purchaser promptly upon receipt of such Mortgage. In instances where an original
recorded Mortgage has been lost or misplaced, the Seller or the related title
insurance company may deliver, in lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage
bearing recordation information and certified as true and correct by the
office
in which recordation thereof was made. In instances where the original or
a copy
of the title insurance policy referred to in clause (b)(v) above (which may
be a
certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining to
the
Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the
Seller
to the Purchaser prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery
of
this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the Seller may,
in lieu
of delivering the original or a copy of such title insurance referred to
in
clause (b)(v) above, deliver to the Purchaser a binder with respect to such
policy (which may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title
insurance) and deliver the original or a copy of such policy (which may be
a
certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) to the Purchaser
within 180 days of the Closing Date. In instances where an original assumption,
modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed- interest-rate agreement cannot
be
delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser prior to or concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller may, in lieu of delivering
the original of such agreement referred to in clause (b)(iv) above, deliver
a
certified copy thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for
which
MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of
the
Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the related Servicer, at the expense
of the
Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days following
the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the related Servicer
of
the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted
for
recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the appropriate public office
for real property records, each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to (b)(iii)
above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the related Servicer, at the expense of the
Seller,
shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or
cure
or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each
such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without
limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in recordable form, neither
the related Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to submit or cause
to be
submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it or a Custodian pursuant
to (b)(iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of the Closing Date,
be
required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their assignment on the
Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates, as evidenced by
the
delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on the Closing Date;
provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the related Servicer shall
submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or
the
related Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction
by
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (B)
the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default, (C) the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (D) the occurrence of a
servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and (E) with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller fails to pay the cost of recording
the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the related Servicer and such
Servicer shall be reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust as Servicing
Advances.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (b)(i) above cannot be
located, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be
deemed
to be satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser of a photocopy of such Mortgage
Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage
Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Purchaser within three Business Days.
The
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser promptly upon
receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited
to,
any original documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation
or
extension of any Mortgage Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered
to the
Purchaser are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Purchaser
or
the related Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original
document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of
a
Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee or
the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee. Any such original document delivered
to or
held by the Seller that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section
to
be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the related
Servicer.
(c) Acceptance
of Mortgage Loans.
The
documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by
the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any
time
before or after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted
to
be delivered after the Closing Date within seven days of its delivery) to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed and received and
that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule.
(d) Transfer
of Interest in Agreements.
The
Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole
or
in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the
assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee
in connection with enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement
will be promptly reimbursed by the Seller.
(e) Examination
of Mortgage Files.
Prior
to the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the
Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, for
examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii)
make
such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee
or
designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by
the
Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable
notice
to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within
60
days after the Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination prior
to
the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to
the
requirements of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage
Loans shall be deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its
option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage
Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that
the
Purchaser or any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial
or
complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of
the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand
repurchase or other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION
5. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.
(a) The
Seller hereby represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Purchaser,
that
the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit A hereto are true
and
correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.
(b) The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date, and covenants, that with respect to each Group
I
Mortgage Loan and Group II Mortgage Loan:
(i) The
original principal balance of each Mortgage Loan is within Xxxxxxx Mac’s dollar
amount limits for conforming one- to four-family mortgage loans;
(ii) The
original principal balance of any first-lien Mortgage Loan does not exceed
the
applicable Xxxxxxx Mac loan limit;
(iii) Each
Mortgage Loan that is secured by a subordinate lien on the related Mortgaged
Property is on a one- to four-family residence that is the principal residence
of the borrower;
(iv) The
original loan amount of any subordinate-lien Mortgage Loan does not exceed
one-half of the one-unit limitation for first lien mortgage loans, or $208,500
(in Alaska, Guam, Hawaii or Virgin Islands: $312,750), without regard to
the
number of units;
(v) The
aggregate original principal balance of the first and subordinate lien Mortgage
Loans relating to the same Mortgaged Property with respect to any Mortgage
Loan
does not exceed Xxxxxxx Mac’s applicable loan limits for first-lien mortgage
loans for that property type;
(vi) No
borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit-life, credit disability,
credit unemployment or credit property insurance policy in connection with
the
origination of any Mortgage Loan;
(vii) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan, no borrower was charged “point and fees” in an
amount greater than (a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such
Mortgage Loan, whichever is greater. For purposes of this representation,
“points and fees” (x) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s
fees and charges that the lender imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage
Loan, whether they are paid to the lender or a third party; and (y) exclude
bona
fide discount points, fees paid for actual services rendered in connection
with
the origination of the Mortgage (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees
paid for property appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations
and
extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections); the cost of
mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title,
hazard,
and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow
deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other
miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent
of the
loan amount;
(viii) No
Mortgage Loan exceeds the “annual percentage rate” or “points and fees payable
by the borrower” threshold as described in HOEPA;
(ix) No
Mortgagor with respect to a Mortgage Loan was encouraged or required to select
a
mortgage loan product offered by the related Originator which is a higher
cost
product designed for a less creditworthy mortgagor, unless at the time of
the
Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account
credit history and debt-to income ratios for a lower-cost credit product
then
offered by the Originator. A borrower who is able to qualify for one of the
Originator’s standard products should be directed towards or offered the
Originator’s standard mortgage line;
(x) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting imposition
of
a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (a) prior to the Mortgage
Loan’s
origination, the borrower agreed to such premium in exchange for a monetary
benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee reduction; (b) the related
Originator had a written policy of offering the borrower the option of obtaining
a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium unless the
mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a premium would be a mortgage
loan that is a HOEPA loan or a high-cost home loan under any applicable state
or
local law and prohibited by the related Originator's underwriting guidelines,
and the Mortgage Loan was made available to the borrower with and without
a
prepayment premium; (c) the prepayment premium is adequately disclosed to
the
borrower pursuant to applicable state and federal law; (d) no Mortgage Loan
originated on or after October 1, 2002 will impose a prepayment premium for
a
term in excess of three years, and any Mortgage Loan originated prior to
such
date will not impose prepayment penalties in excess of five years; in each
case
unless the loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than
three years from the date of the note and the borrower was notified in writing
of such reduction in prepayment period; and (e) notwithstanding any state
or
federal law to the contrary, the related Servicer shall not impose such
prepayment premium in any instance when the Mortgage Loan is accelerated
or paid
off in connection with the workout of a delinquent mortgage or due to the
borrower’s default;
(xi) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
did not rely on the extent of the borrower’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The
methodology employed objective criteria that related such facts as, without
limitation, the borrower’s credit history, income, assets or liabilities, to the
proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the related Originator
made a reasonable determination that at the time of origination the borrower
had
the ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(xii) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by a manufactured housing unit; and
(xiii) No
Mortgage Loan is “seasoned.”
(c) The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date, and covenants, that:
(i) The
Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation

constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof
may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or by general principles
of equity.
(iii) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Seller (x) does
not
conflict and will not conflict with, does not breach and will not result
in a
breach of and does not constitute and will not constitute a default (or an
event, which with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default)
under (A) any terms or provisions of the articles of incorporation or by-laws
of
the Seller, (B) any term or provision of any material agreement, contract,
instrument or indenture, to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller
or any of its property is bound or (C) any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its property and (y) does not
create or impose and will not result in the creation or imposition of any
lien,
charge or encumbrance which would have a material adverse effect upon the
Mortgage Loans or any documents or instruments evidencing or securing the
Mortgage Loans.
(iv) No
consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with,
or
notice on behalf of the Seller to any governmental authority or court is
required, under federal laws or the laws of the State of New York, for the

Seller with, this Agreement or the consummation by the Seller of any other
transaction contemplated hereby and by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
provided, however, that the Seller makes no representation or warranty regarding
federal or state securities laws in connection with the sale or distribution
of
the Certificates.
(v) This
Agreement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit
to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein not

and
furnished or to be prepared and furnished by the Seller pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby taken
in
the aggregate do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit
to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein
not
misleading.
(vi) The
Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Seller and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree
of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state, municipal
or
governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets, which
violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect
the
condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the Seller or its assets
or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the
performance of its obligations and duties hereunder.
(vii) The
Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe,
that
it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this
Agreement.
(viii) Immediately
prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as herein contemplated,
the Seller will be the owner of the related Mortgage and the indebtedness
evidenced by the related Mortgage Note, and, upon the payment to the Seller
of
the Purchase Price, in the event that the Seller retains or has retained
record
title, the Seller shall retain such record title to each Mortgage, each related
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage Files with respect thereto in trust
for
the Purchaser as the owner thereof from and after the date hereof.

Loans by the Seller or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement or (C) that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement.
(x) The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the
ordinary course of business of the Seller, and the transfer, assignment and
conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller are not
subject
to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions.
(xi) The
Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person,
except for the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, that may be entitled to
any
commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage
Loans.
(xii) There
is
no litigation currently pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge
without independent investigation, threatened against the Seller that would
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans,
the issuance of the Certificates or the execution, delivery, performance
or
enforceability of this Agreement, or that would result in a material adverse
change in the financial condition of the Seller.

SECTION 6. |
Repurchase
Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
and Warranty.
|
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and
shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and any assignee, transferee
or
designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders
of
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing an interest in all or a
portion of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination or lack
of
examination of any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations and
warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best knowledge
of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered
that the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate
and the
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee,
designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate
at
the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall
be
deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller
shall take such action described in the following paragraphs of this Section
6
in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by either the Seller or
the
Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties
made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of the
Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage
Loan in
the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the
other. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that any breach
of
the representations set forth in Section 5(b) hereof shall be deemed to
materially and adversely affect the value of the related mortgage loans or
the
interests of the Trust in the related mortgage loans.
Within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any
breach
of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and adversely
affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest
therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly
to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured,
the
Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price. The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming
the
Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a
deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. If
the
Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it
shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall occur on a date
designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance
with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase
or
substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent
with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At
the
time of substitution or repurchase by the Seller of any deficient Mortgage
Loan,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the
repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to
the
Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or
repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited in
the
Collection Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give
written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such
repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering
to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents
and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with
the
Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall remit for deposit
in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution.
Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
in the
month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of
substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment
due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by the
Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution,
the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date
of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Section
5.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee
on behalf of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that (i) the obligations of the Seller set forth in
this
Section 6 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan
and
(ii) the obligations of the Seller as provided in the next sentence constitute
the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document
or
a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5. The
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any
claim,
demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from,
a
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of this
Agreement.
SECTION
7. Closing;
Payment for the Mortgage Loans.
The
closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the
New
York City office of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Wood llp
at 10:00
AM New York City time on the Closing Date.
The
closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(a) All
of
the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement shall
be
true and correct in all material respects as of the date as of which they
are
made and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or the passage of
time,
would constitute a default under this Agreement;

The

the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award
of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the
Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller
of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted
by this
Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released
from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance
of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment
to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct
from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in
Section 7 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have
paid
or caused to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or any such condition
shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not
to pay
or cause to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall
immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the
Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section
11
shall be deemed to have been released.
SECTION
12. Notices.
All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph and
confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to
the
Purchaser at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,

be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.
SECTION
13. Severability
of Provisions.
Any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is
prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty
of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void
or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION
14. Agreement
of Parties.
The
Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of
this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
15. Survival.
The
Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by
it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf,
and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller
herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the delivery
of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force and
effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
SECTION
16. GOVERNING
LAW.
THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS
(INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW
YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION
17. Miscellaneous.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement
nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser
and
not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure
a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans
are
held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of
the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by
the
Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller
and
(b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
(2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant
by the
Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage
Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed
to be
“possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
and
(4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof
shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with
this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of
first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the
term
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION
18. Indemnification.
The
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii)
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and (iii) each person, if any, who controls
the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iii) collectively, the “Indemnified
Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to
which the Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or result from, a breach by
the
Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller herein,
it being understood that the Purchaser has relied upon such representations
and
warranties.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to
be
signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first above written.

EXHIBIT
A
Representation
and Warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans
All
capitalized terms in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in
the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement, dated December
28,
2004, between Citigroup
Global Markets Realty Corp. (“CGMRC”) and Ameriquest Mortgage Company
(“Ameriquest”), as amended; provided, however, that the terms “Mortgage Loan
Schedule” and “Originators” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the terms “Seller” and “Purchaser” shall
have the meanings ascribed to them herein.
1.
The
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and
correct as of the Cut-off Date;
2.
[Reserved];
3.
As of
the Closing Date, the Company has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited
or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner
of the
related Mortgaged Property, directly, for the payment of any amount required
by
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, and no Mortgage Loan has been delinquent for
more
than thirty (30) days in the prior twelve (12) months;
4.
As of
the Closing Date, there are no delinquent taxes or insurance premiums affecting
the related Mortgaged Property;
5.
As of
the Closing Date, the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not
been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary
to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered
to the
Trustee; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been
approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy,
and
is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration
or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in
whole
or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by
the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement has been delivered to the Trustee and the terms of which are reflected
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
6.
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any valid right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole
or
in part, or subject to any such valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including the defense of usury and no such valid right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
7.
As of
the Closing Date, all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by
a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements
of the
Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the related Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee
and all premiums thereon are paid current. If upon origination of the Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified on a Flood Hazard
Map or
Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as
having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available)
a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of
the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy conforms to
the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac. Except as may otherwise be limited
by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such
insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from the Mortgagor;
8.
Any
and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, disclosure laws and/or all
predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the origination and servicing
of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. Any and all disclosure statements
required to be made by the Mortgagor relating to such requirements are and
will
remain in the Mortgage File;
9.
As of
the Closing Date, the Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated
or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument
been
executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination,
rescission or release;
10.
The
Mortgage creates a valid first or second lien, as applicable, in the related
Mortgaged Property as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
11.
The
related Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien,
as
applicable, on the related Mortgaged Property, including all improvements
on the
related Mortgaged Property subject only to (i) the lien of current real property
taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions
and
restrictions, rights of way, easements, mineral right reservations and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage
being
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred
to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the related Originator of
the related Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised
Value
of the related Mortgaged Property and (iii) other matters to which like
properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage
or the
use, enjoyment, value (as determined by Appraised Value) or marketability
of the
related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage
Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected
first lien and first priority security interest on the property described
therein;
12.
The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with
its
terms;
13.
All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person, at least one Mortgagor is
a
party to the Mortgage Note, and the Mortgage is in an individual
capacity;
14.
Excluding any Mortgage Loan subject to an escrow holdback, the proceeds of
the
Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor
and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds
thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the
Mortgagor is not currently entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or
due to
the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
15.
[Reserved];
16.
As of
the Closing Date, all parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage
Loan,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period
in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with
any
and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of
the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;
17.
The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy and, in the
case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, with an adjustable rate mortgage
endorsement, such endorsement substantially in the form of ALTA Form 6.0
or 6.1,
issued by a title insurer and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Interim Servicer, its successors
and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to an Adjustable
Rate
Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for
adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally,
such
lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and
from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged
Property or any interest therein. The related Originator and its successors
and
assigns is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement. Such lender’s title insurance policy does not require the consent of
or notification to the related insurer for assignment to the
Purchaser.
18.
As of
the Closing Date, no claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Company,
has
done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender’s title insurance policy;
19.
As of
the Closing Date, there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration; and as of the Closing Date, the Company or the Interim Servicer
has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. For
purposes of the foregoing, a delinquent payment of less than thirty (30)
days on
a Mortgage Loan in and of itself does not constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration with respect to such Mortgage
Loan.
20.
As of
the Closing Date, there are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have
been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that
under
law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property
which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
related Mortgage;
21.
All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. Each appraisal has been
performed in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989;
22.
The
Mortgage Loan was (i) originated by or in conjunction with a mortgagee approved
by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203
and
211 of the National Housing Act, a savings and loan association, a savings
bank,
a commercial bank, mortgage banker, credit union, insurance company or similar
banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority or (ii) acquired by the Company or its affiliates directly through
loan brokers or correspondents such that (a) the Mortgage Loan was originated
in
conformity with the Underwriting Guidelines and (b) the Company or its
affiliates approved the Mortgage Loan prior to funding;
23.
Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan are scheduled to commence no more
than
sixty days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan are disbursed. The Mortgage
Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note is payable
on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments. Interest on the Mortgage
Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization;
24.
The
origination and collection practices used by the Company and the Interim
Servicer, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage
have
been in all respects legal, proper, reasonable and customary in the mortgage
origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by
the
Servicer, the Interim Servicer and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note and applicable law. With respect to escrow
deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession
of, or under the control with, the Servicer or the Interim Servicer, and
there
exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements
for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments
or other charges or payments due the Servicer or the Interim Servicer have
been
capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;
25.
As of
the Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste
and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
thereof;
26.
The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. As of
the Closing Date, since the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor, which would materially interfere with the right to sell
the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
As of the Closing Date, the Mortgagor has not notified the Servicer, the
Interim
Servicer or the Company and the Company, the Servicer or the Interim Servicer
has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under
the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act formerly known as the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil
Relief Act of 1940;
27.

related Mortgaged Property is not a leasehold estate or, if such Mortgaged
Property is a leasehold estate, the remaining term of such lease is at least
five (5) years greater than the remaining term of the related Mortgage
Note;
28.
The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the
lien
of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to
above;
29.
The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal or insured AVM of the related Mortgaged
Property made prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan. In the case of
an
appraisal it was made by a staff or third party qualified appraiser who had
no
interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made
on
the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval
or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, for whom no conflict of interest is present
and who met the minimum qualifications of USPAP;
30.
In
the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are or
will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust,
except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
31.
No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are
(i)
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Company, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (ii)
paid
by any source other than the Mortgagor or (iii) contains any other similar
provisions which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not
a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
32.
The
Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law
with
respect to the making of a Refinanced Mortgage Loan, and evidence of such
receipt is and will remain in the Mortgage File;
33.
The
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents
required to be delivered with respect to each Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, have been delivered to the Trustee all in

by the
Purchaser); all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made
or
issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and,
with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities;
35.
The
Assignment of Mortgage, is in recordable form and (other than with respect
to
the blank assignee and the lack of mortgage recordation information) is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. When endorsed as provided for in this Agreement,
the Mortgage Notes will be duly endorsed under applicable law;
36.
Any
principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate
and
single repayment term;
37.
No
Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;
38.
If
the Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit
or a
unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit
development) such condominium or planned unit development project is not
ineligible under Xxxxxx Mae’s eligibility requirements;
39.
[Reserved];
40.

Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code;
41.

the Closing Date, no Mortgage Loan has an LTV of more than 100%;
42.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
connection with the purchase from ______________________ (the “Transferor”) on
the date hereof of the captioned trust certificates (the “Certificates”),
_______________ (the “Transferee”) hereby certifies as follows:
1. The
Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule
144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and has
completed either of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto
as
Annex 1 or Annex 2. The Transferee is aware that the sale to it is being made
in
reliance on Rule 144A. The Transferee is acquiring the Certificates for its
own
account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer, and understands
that such Certificate may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person
reasonably believed to be a qualified institutional buyer that purchases for
its
own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice
is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule
144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the 1933
Act.
2. The
Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the
Certificates and distributions thereon, (b) the nature, performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
referred to below, and (d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with
the
Certificates, that it has requested.
3. With
respect to a transfer of the Class CE Certificates, the Transferee agrees to
provide to the Trust Administrator and the Interest Risk Cap Provider the
appropriate tax certification form (i.e. IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY
or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto)), and agrees to update
such forms (i) upon expiration of any such form, (ii) as required under then
applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (iii) promptly upon learning that
any
IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any
successor form thereto), has become obsolete or incorrect. In addition, if
the
transfer contemplated hereby causes the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
or the Cap Account to be beneficially owned by two or more persons for federal
income tax purposes, or continue to be so treated, (a) each Transferee shall
comply with the foregoing conditions, (b) the proposed majority Holder of the
Class CE Certificates (or each Holder, if there is or would be no majority
Holder) (A) shall provide, or cause to be provided, on behalf of the Net WAC
Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the Cap Account the appropriate tax
certification form that would be required from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account or the Cap Account to eliminate any withholding or deduction
for
taxes from amounts payable by the Interest Risk Cap Provider, pursuant to the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to the Trust Administrator and the Interest Risk
Cap Provider on behalf of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account or the
Cap
Account (i.e. IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as applicable
(or any successor form thereto) as a condition to transfer, together with any
applicable attachments) and (B) each Transferee agrees to update such form
(x)
upon expiration of any such form, (y) as required under then applicable U.S.
Treasury regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that such form has become
obsolete or incorrect.
The
Transferee hereby authorizes the Trust Administrator to provide any such tax
certification form to the Interest Risk Cap Provider, upon its request, solely
to the extent the Interest Risk Cap Provider has not received such IRS Form
directly from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates. Each Holder of a Class
CE
Certificate by its purchase of such Certificate is deemed to consent to any
such
IRS Form being so forwarded. Upon the request of the Interest Risk Cap Provider,
the Trust Administrator shall be required to forward any tax certification
received by it to the Interest Risk Cap Provider at the last known address
provided to it, and, subject to Section 8.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, shall not be liable for the receipt of such tax certification by
the
Interest Risk Cap Provider nor any action taken or not taken by the Interest
Risk Cap Provider with respect to such tax certification. Any purported sales
or
transfers of the Class CE Certificate to a Transferee which does not comply
with
the requirements of the preceding paragraph shall be deemed null and void under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall have no
duty
to take any action to correct any misstatement or omission in any tax
certification provided to it by the Holder of the Class CE Certificates and
forwarded to the Interest Risk Cap Provider.
All
capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
March 1, 2007, among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as Depositor, Ocwen
Loan Servicing, LLC, GMAC Mortgage, LLC and Countrywide Home Loans Servicing
LP
as Servicers, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Master Servicer and as Trust
Administrator and U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee, pursuant to which
the Certificates were issued.

a third
party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the
Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless
the
Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such
third
party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A
to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition
of
“qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.
|

7.
|
The
Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification
is
made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until

such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by
the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trust
Administrator a certificate substantially in the form set forth as
Exhibit L to the Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which
the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends to
pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable to
a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
[_] The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax
rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject to
the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by
the
Transferee.
[_] The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United
States;
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross
assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets
in
excess of $10 million;
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
and
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but
not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good
faith.
|
[_] None
of the above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf
of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on
its
behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this
day
of

2. The
Owner
is not transferring the Class R Certificates or Class R-X Certificates (the
“Residual Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
3. The
Owner
has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the
“Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay
any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is not
a
Permitted Transferee.
4. The
Owner
understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trust Administrator a
transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that
any
representation contained therein is false.
5. At
the
time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the
financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner
has
determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became
due
and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not
continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner
understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected
for
United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable
for
United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted
such an investigation.
6. Capitalized

of such
Market Quotations expressed as a positive number or, if any of
such Market
Quotations is expressed as a negative number, the Market Quotation
expressed as a negative number with the largest absolute
value).

nothing in this clause shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, Party A (i)
from
taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year
and one
day period (or, if longer, the then applicable preference period) in (x)
any
case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by Party B or (y) any
involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against Party B by a

determine in its sole discretion, acting in a commercially reasonable
manner, whether or not a transfer relates to all or substantially
all of

an entity has made a Firm Offer to be the transferee of a transfer
to be
made in accordance with (ii) above, Party B shall (at Party A’s cost) at
Party A’s written request, take any reasonable steps required to be taken
by it to effect such transfer.

party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable

External
Verification.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the definitions of Valuation Agent or Valuation
Date, at any time at which Party A (or, to the extent applicable, its Credit
Support Provider) does not have a long-term unsubordinated and unsecured
debt
rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P, the Valuation Agent shall (A) calculate
the Secured Party’s Exposure and the S&P Value of Posted Credit Support on
each Valuation Date based on internal marks and (B) verify such calculations
with external marks monthly by obtaining on the last Local Business Day
of each
calendar month two external marks for each Transaction to which this Annex
relates and for all Posted Credit Support; such verification of the Secured
Party’s Exposure shall be based on the higher of the two external marks. Each
external xxxx in respect of a Transaction shall be obtained from an independent
Reference Market-maker that would be eligible and willing to enter into
such
Transaction in the absence of the current derivative provider, provided
that an
external xxxx xxx not be obtained from the same Reference Market-maker
more than
four times in any 12-month period. The Valuation Agent shall obtain these
external marks directly or through an independent third party, in either
case at
no cost to Party B. The Valuation Agent shall calculate on each Valuation
Date
(for purposes of this paragraph, the last Local Business Day in each calendar
month referred to above shall be considered a Valuation Date) the Secured
Party’s Exposure based on the greater of the Valuation Agent’s internal marks
and the external marks received. If the S&P Value on any such Valuation Date
of all Posted Credit Support then held by the Secured Party is less than
the
S&P Credit Support Amount on such Valuation Date (in each case as determined
pursuant to this paragraph), Party A shall, within three Local Business
Days of
such Valuation Date, Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support
having an S&P Value as of the date of Transfer at least equal to such
deficiency.

anything to the contrary in Paragraph 10, the Pledgor will be
responsible
for, and will reimburse the Secured Party for, all transfer and
other
taxes and other costs involved in any Transfer of Eligible
Collateral.

an Additional Termination Event under another provision of this Agreement
and
(B) no more than 30 Local Business Days have elapsed since the last time
that
Party A satisfied the Xxxxx'x Second Trigger Ratings Threshold, then such
failure shall be an Additional Termination Event and not an Event of

1.
Capitalized

in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As

Securitization
Transaction:
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-AMC2, Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2007-AMC2.
Servicer:
As
defined in Section 2(c)(iii).
Subcontractor:
Any
vendor, subcontractor or other Person that is not responsible for the overall
servicing (as “servicing” is commonly understood by participants in the

more
discrete functions identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB with respect
to
Mortgage Loans under the direction or authority of Countrywide or a
Subservicer.
Subservicer:
Any
Person that services Mortgage Loans on behalf of Countrywide or any Subservicer
and is responsible for the performance (whether directly or through Subservicers
or Subcontractors) of a substantial portion of the material servicing functions
required to be performed by Countrywide under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement that are identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB; provided,
however, that the term “Subservicer” shall not include any master servicer, or
any special servicer engaged at the request of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or investor in the Securitization Transaction, nor any “back-up
servicer” or trustee performing servicing functions on behalf of the
Securitization Transaction.
2. The
Master Servicer, the Depositor and Countrywide agree that the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement is hereby supplemented by adding the following
provisions:
(a) Intent
of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide acknowledge and agree that
the
purpose of Article 2 of this Addendum is to facilitate compliance by the

Servicer and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and related
rules and regulations of the Commission. Neither the Master Servicer nor
the
Depositor shall exercise its right to request delivery of information or
other
performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes
other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Countrywide acknowledges that
interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time,
whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff,
and agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Master Servicer and the Depositor
with regard to any reasonable requests for delivery of information under
these
provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB. In
connection
with the Securitization Transaction, Countrywide shall cooperate fully with
the
Master Servicer and the Depositor to deliver to the Master Servicer (including
any of its assignees or designees) and the Depositor, any and all statements,
reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary to permit
the Master Servicer or the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, together with such disclosures relating to Countrywide, and any parties
or
items identified in writing by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, including,
any Subservicer or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans necessary in order
to
effect such compliance.
The
Depositor and the Master Servicer agree that they will cooperate with
Countrywide and provide sufficient and timely notice of any information
requirements pertaining to the Securitization Transaction. The Depositor
and the
Master Servicer will make all reasonable efforts to contain requests for
information, reports or any other materials to items required for compliance
with Regulation AB, and shall not request information which is not required
for
such compliance.
(b) [Reserved].

(2)

in paragraph (vi) of this Section 2(c), and (3) as promptly as practicable

(iv) For
the
purpose of satisfying the reporting obligations of the Issuing Entity under
the
Exchange Act, Countrywide shall (and shall cause each Subservicer to) (a)
provide prompt notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor in writing
of (1)
any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of
Countrywide, (2) Countrywide’s entry into an agreement with a Subservicer to
perform or assist in the performance of any of Countrywide’s obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that qualifies as an “entry into a material
definitive agreement” under Item 1.01 of the Form 8-K, (3) any Servicer Event of
Default under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent
not
known by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, and (4) a brief description
of
any material litigation or governmental proceedings involving Countrywide
or any
Subservicer.
(v) As
a
condition to the succession to Countrywide or any Subservicer as servicer
or
subservicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by any Person (i) into
which Countrywide or such Subservicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii)
which may be appointed as a successor to Countrywide or any Subservicer,
Countrywide shall provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, at least
15
calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment,
(x)
written notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor of such succession
or
appointment and (y) in writing, all information reasonably requested by the
Master Servicer or the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting
obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to the

issuing entity is required to disclose under Item 1119 of Regulation AB)
no
later than 15 calendar days prior to the date the Depositor is required to
file
its Form 10-K disclosing such affiliation or relationship. For purposes of
the
foregoing, Countrywide (1) shall be entitled to assume that the parties to
the
Securitization Transaction with whom affiliations or relations must be disclosed
are the same as on the closing date if it provides a written request (which
may
be by e-mail)
to the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable, requesting such
confirmation and either obtains such confirmation or receives no response
within
three (3) Business Days, (2) shall not be obligated to disclose any affiliations
or relationships that may develop after the closing date for the Securitization
Transaction with any parties not identified to Countrywide in writing within
ten
days in advance of the Securitization Transaction, and (3) shall be entitled
to
rely upon any written identification of parties provided by the Depositor
or the
Master Servicer.

than ten days prior to the deadline for the filing of the Monthly Statement
on
Form 10-D in respect of the Securitization Transaction that includes any
of the
Mortgage Loans serviced by Countrywide or any Subservicer, Countrywide or
such
Subservicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent Countrywide or such Subservicer
has knowledge, provide to the party responsible for filing such report
(including, if applicable, the Master Servicer) notice of the occurrence
of any
of the following events, along with all information, data, and materials
related
thereto as may be required to be included in the related distribution report
on
Form 10-D:

(b) material
breaches of transaction covenants under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
as
supplemented herein.
(d) Servicer
Compliance Statement.
On
or
before March 5 of each calendar year, commencing in 2008, Countrywide shall
deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a statement of compliance
addressed to the Master Servicer and the Depositor and signed by an authorized
officer of Countrywide, to the effect that (i) a review of Countrywide’s
servicing activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or
applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under the servicing
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during such period has
been
made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’
knowledge, based on such review, Countrywide has fulfilled all of its servicing
obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in all material respects
throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there
has
been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect,
specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the
nature
and the status thereof.
(e) Report
on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
(i) On
or
before March 5 of each calendar year, commencing in 2008, Countrywide
shall:
(A) deliver
to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a report regarding Countrywide’s
assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately
preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the
Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed
to
the Master Servicer and the Depositor and signed by an authorized officer
of
Countrywide, and shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria
specified on Exhibit A hereto (wherein “Investor” shall mean the Master
Servicer);
(B) deliver
to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a report of a registered public
accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance
made by Countrywide and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such
attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
(C) if
required by Regulation AB, cause each Subservicer and each Subcontractor
determined by Countrywide pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) to be “participating in
the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (each,
a “Participating Entity”), to deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor
an assessment of compliance and accountants’ attestation as and when provided in
paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 2(e); and
(D) deliver,
or, if required by Regulation AB, cause each Subservicer and Participating
Entity to deliver to the Master Servicer, the Depositor or any other Person
that
will be responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”)
required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant
to
Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002) on behalf of the Issuing Entity
a
certification, signed by the appropriate officer of Countrywide, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B; provided that such certification delivered
by
Countrywide may not be filed as an exhibit to, or included in, any filing
with
the Commission.
Countrywide
acknowledges that the party identified in clause (i)(D) above may rely on
the
certification provided by Countrywide pursuant to such clause in signing
a
Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission.
(ii) Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section
2(e)(i)(A) shall address each of the applicable Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit A hereto (wherein “investor” shall mean the Master Servicer) delivered
to the Master Servicer and the Depositor concurrently with the execution
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or, in the case of a Subservicer subsequently
appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment. An assessment
of
compliance provided by a Participating Entity pursuant to Section 2(e)(i)(C)
need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those
specified by Countrywide pursuant to Section 2(f).
If
reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Depositor, Countrywide
shall
provide to the Master Servicer or the Depositor, evidence of the authorization
of the person signing the certificate or statement provided pursuant to Section
2(d) and 2(e) of this Addendum.
(f) Use
of
Subservicers and Subcontractors.
Countrywide
shall not hire or otherwise utilize the services of any Subservicer to fulfill
any of the obligations of Countrywide as servicer under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement unless Countrywide complies with the provisions of paragraph
(i) of this Subsection (f). Countrywide shall not hire or otherwise utilize
the
services of any Subcontractor, and shall not permit any Subservicer to hire
or
otherwise utilize the services of any Subcontractor, to fulfill any of the
obligations of Countrywide as servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
unless Countrywide complies with the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this
Subsection (f).
(i) It
shall
not be necessary for Countrywide to seek the consent of the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor to the utilization of any Subservicer. If required by Regulation
AB, Countrywide shall cause any Subservicer used by Countrywide (or by any
Subservicer) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to
comply
with the provisions of this Section and with Sections 2(b), 2(c)(iii), 2(c)(v),
2(d), and 2(e) of this Addendum, and to provide the information required
with
respect to such Subservicer under Section 2(c)(iv) of this Addendum. Countrywide
shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to
the
Master Servicer and the Depositor any servicer compliance statement required
to
be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 2(d), any assessment of
compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under
Section 2(e) and any certification required to be delivered to the Person
that
will be responsible for signing the Sarbanes Certification under Section
2(e) as
and when required to be delivered.
(ii) It
shall
not be necessary for Countrywide to seek the consent of the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor to the utilization of any Subcontractor. If required by Regulation
AB, after reasonable notice from the Master Servicer or the Depositor of
the
parties involved in the Securitization Transaction, Countrywide shall promptly
upon request provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a written
description of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by
Countrywide or any Subservicer, specifying (A) the identity of each such
Subcontractor, (B) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are Participating
Entities, and (C) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed
in
assessments of compliance provided by each Participating Entity identified
pursuant to clause (B) of this paragraph.
Countrywide
shall cause any such Participating Entity used by Countrywide (or by any
Subservicer) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to
comply
with the provisions of Section 2(e) of this Addendum. Countrywide shall be
responsible for obtaining from each Participating Entity and delivering to
the
Master Servicer and the Depositor any assessment of compliance and attestation
and certificate required to be delivered by such Participating Entity under
Section 2(e), in each case as and when required to be delivered.
(g) Indemnification;
Remedies.
(i) Countrywide
shall indemnify the Master Servicer and each of the following parties
participating
in the Securitization Transaction: the
Sponsor,
the Depositor and the Issuing Entity; each Person responsible for the execution
or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect
to
the Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant
to
Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to the
Securitization Transaction; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, acting
as
placement agent or acting as initial purchaser; each Person who controls
any of
such parties (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act);
and the
respective present and former directors, officers and employees of each of
the
foregoing and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them
may
sustain arising out of or based upon:
(A)(1) any
untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained
in
any
written information, written report, certification or other material
provided
under
this Addendum
by or on
behalf of Countrywide,
or
provided under this Addendum by or on behalf of any Subservicer or Participating
Entity (collectively, the “Countrywide Information”),
or (2)
the omission or alleged omission to state in Countrywide Information a material
fact required to be stated in Countrywide Information or necessary in order
to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they
were made, not misleading; provided,
by way of clarification,
that
clause (2) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to
Countrywide Information and not to any other information communicated in
connection with the sale or purchase of the Certificates, without regard
to
whether Countrywide Information or any portion thereof is presented together
with or separately from such other information;
(B) any
failure by Countrywide, any Subservicer, any Participating Entity to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other
material when and as required under this Addendum, including any failure
by
Countrywide to identify pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) any Participating Entity;
or
(C) any
breach by Countrywide of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
2(b)(i) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) and made as
of a
date prior to the Closing Date, to the extent that such breach is not cured
by
such closing date, or any breach by Countrywide of a representation or warranty
in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii) to the extent made as
of a
date subsequent to such closing date.
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the parties set forth in Section 2(g)(i), then Countrywide agrees
that
it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
as a
result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such
indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of such indemnified party on the one hand and Countrywide on the
other.
In
the
case of any failure of performance described in clause (i)(B) of this Section,
Countrywide shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor,
as
applicable, and each Person responsible for the execution or filing of any
report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to the
Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant
to Rule
13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to the
Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such
party
in order to obtain the information,
report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as
required by Countrywide, any
Subservicer or any Participating Entity.
(ii) (A) Any
failure by Countrywide, any Subservicer or any Participating Entity to
deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other
material when and as required under this Addendum, which continues unremedied
for three Business Days after receipt by Countrywide and the applicable
Subservicer or Subcontractor of written notice of such failure from the Master
Servicer or the Depositor shall, except as provided in clause (B) of this
paragraph, constitute a Servicer Event of Default with respect to Countrywide
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall entitle the Master Servicer
or the Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the
rights
and obligations of Countrywide as servicer under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement to the contrary) of any compensation to Countrywide (and appoint
a
successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer); provided,
however
it is
understood that Countrywide shall remain entitled to receive reimbursement
for
all xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances made by Countrywide
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and pursuant
to the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as if Countrywide had not been
terminated as servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, to the extent that any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following
termination of Countrywide as servicer, such provision shall be given
effect.
(B) Any
failure by Countrywide, any Subservicer or any Participating Entity to
deliver any information, report, certification or accountants’ letter required
under Regulation AB when and as required under Section 2(d) or 2(e), including
any failure by Countrywide to identify a Participating Entity, which continues
unremedied for ten calendar days after the date on which such information,
report, certification or accountants’ letter was required to be delivered shall
constitute a Servicer Event of Default with respect to Countrywide under
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall entitle the Master Servicer or
the
Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to terminate the rights
and
obligations of Countrywide as servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
without payment (notwithstanding anything in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to the contrary) of any compensation to Countrywide; provided, however
it is
understood that Countrywide shall remain entitled to receive reimbursement
for
all xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances made by Countrywide
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with and pursuant
to the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as if Countrywide had not been
terminated as servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, to the extent that any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following
termination of Countrywide as servicer, such provision shall be given
effect.
(C) Countrywide
shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer (or any affected designee of
the
Master Servicer) and the Depositor, as applicable, for all reasonable expenses
incurred by the Master Servicer (or such designee) or the Depositor as such
are
incurred, in connection with the termination of Countrywide as servicer and
the
transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not limit whatever rights Countrywide,
the
Master Servicer or the Depositor may have under other provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law, such as
an
action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
(iii) The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Countrywide, any
Subservicer, any Participating Entity, each
Person who controls any of such parties (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), and the
respective present and former directors, officers and employees of each of
the
foregoing from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon
any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in
any filing with the Commission or the omission or alleged omission to state
in
any filing with the Commission a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to be stated in order to
make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were
made, not misleading,
in each
case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement, alleged
untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission relates to any filing with
the
Commission other than Countrywide Information.
(iv) If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified party, then the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred
by such
indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of such indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party
on
the other.
(v) The
indemnifications provided for in Section 2(g) shall survive the termination
of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the termination of any party to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
3. The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby supplemented as follows:
(A) Subservicing
Agreements Between Countrywide and Subservicers.
Countrywide,
as servicer, may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a
Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement. Each Subservicer shall
be (i)
authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the subservicing agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or
Xxxxxx
Mae approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between Countrywide or a
Subservicer or reference to actions taken through Countrywide or otherwise,
Countrywide shall remain obligated and liable to the Master Servicer and
its
successors and assigns for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the
Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if
Countrywide alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. In
the
event Countrywide is terminated as servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Section 2(g)(ii)(A) or (B) of this Addendum,
the Subservicer, if any, shall no longer have the right to service the related
Mortgage Loans.
(B) No
Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and the Master Servicer or the
Depositor
Any
subservicing agreement and any other transactions or services relating to
the
Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and Countrywide alone and the Master Servicer and the Depositor
shall not be deemed a party thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Subservicer except
as set
forth in Section (A) above.
4. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Addendum, Countrywide shall seek the consent
of the
Master Servicer and the Depositor for the utilization of all Subservicers
and
Participating Entities, when required by and in accordance with the terms
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
5. The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is hereby supplemented with the Exhibit attached
hereto as Exhibit A to the end thereto. References in this Addendum to the
“Pooling and Servicing Agreement” or words of similar import (including indirect
references to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) shall be deemed to be
references to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as supplemented by this
Addendum. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and any other
document or agreement, including without limitation the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, this Addendum shall control.
